Timing out when connecting to ReadyNas 102
I've got a ReadyNAS 102. Yesterday I went in and added the Plex app to use with my Roku TV. I found that I could see the different films but they wouldn't play, so I decided to go back in to the admin page and turn off the app.
But now I can't connect to the ReadyNAS.
When I launch ReadyCloud, I see the ReadyNAS, but when I click manage, I just get a time out. I never get the admin/password popup that I was getting yesterday.
I have rebooted my Windows PC, as well as the ReadyNAS, and my router, and my modem, even.
In Windows, when I look at My PC, or Network, I don't see the ReadyNAS.
And I can ping the ReadyNAS.
Any suggestions?
Update: I was able to do the exact same process on my Mac and it worked. I wonder why I can't get in via the PC. The ReadyNAS is still syncing so let's see what happens when it finishes.

Update 2 - from ReadyCloud, the PC was trying to connect to http://192.168.1.2 but the Mac opened http://192.168.1.9. Putting that URL into the PC manually works just fine.
So, how come ReadyCloud doesn't know where to really look for the ReadyNAS in order to manage it? Pretty confusing to me!

ReadyCloud likely was using an old IP address.
I suggest reserving the NAS IP address in your router, so it won't change when you reboot the NAS (or when you reboot the router).
Thank you, I've set that up on the router. Good suggestion.
