NAS outside of IP Range
Hi,
We have moved address and changed broadband supplier and my ReadyNas v1 no longer shows on the new router (Was VirginMedia, now BT in the UK)
Under my old system, I think my NAS must have had a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.4 but the BT Hub is allocating addresses in the 192.168.1.xxx range so cant address my NAS. I have a Mac and can see the drive listed but cant access it.
Any ideas of how I can get the BT Hub to use the .0 addresses or preferably get to the NAS to instruct it to use DHCP? Its a ReadyNas Duo v1. I dont have the VM router anymore
Any help would be really appreciated. I have a lot of data on the NAS that I need to retain.
Thanks

- Do you have a backup of your data?
Is your mac using dhcp or a static ip address?
Do you have RAIDAR installed on your mac?

You should be able to see the nas on radiar and access the admin pages to change to dhcp or set a fixed ip address in the correct format.
What ip address is displayed on raidar?
Alternatively log in to the new router admin pages and change both the ip address of the router to 192.168.0.1 and the dhcp address range to 192.168.0.x - 192.168.0.y. Make sure the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
There is some guidance here:

Also if you were to change your mac ip address to 192.168.0.y (fixed) you should also be able to access the nas at its current ip address, this won't solve the problem completely though because your gateway address will still be 192.168.1.1.
