hi i have just bought an ultra 2 i cant set it up, i have no frontview? i can access raidar but it wont let me find frontview? i have another problem but thats in a different post. where is it hidden? mark
If that fails to work, are you otherwise able to access the NAS (for example, accessing your shares over CIFS/SMB, AFP, FTP, etc.) or via SSH? If you can still access you data one of the aforementioned methods, it's possible that the HTTP process that runs Frontview has died. A simple reboot may cure it.
If it's a brand new setup (no data or anything), I would just try factory defaulting the unit. This will test, initialize, format and install the base OS and allow you to configure from RAIDar.
hi i did that it is asking for a proxy server? there is a small box comes up and it says internat connection available or password etc for proxy server? i dont understand this part? mark

I've never seen anything like that before. What program is asking this?
it is windows? i cant access anything? no software nothing i have rebooted/reset the nas but still nothing? i am sick of it! can i ask if iam doing things right, i have the nas connected to my pc? should it be connected to the wireless box directly then move it to my pc when it is set up? thanks mark
thanks for that, ok so can i use it wireless once it is set up? i have my pc upstairs and my router downstairs so could i move the nas upstairs or will i have to leave it next to the router connected via ethernet cable? thanks mark
You could try a direct connection but a NAS really shines when connected to the network, thus letting all PC's, phones, mobile devices, etc... on the network have access to the NAS goodness :lol: .

ps my pc uses the router wireless
The best option is to leave the NAS connected to the router via cable. This will offer best "wire speed" transfers to those clients that have faster connections (such as other wired devices). Wireless devices will obviously transfer data at slower speeds. If you were to connect the NAS to the network wirelessly (you'd need to use some sort of wireless bridge or gaming adapter) you would be creating a bottleneck for everything.
ok guys i have set everything up connected to the hub etc but no frontview or any other prompts? next step ebay! this is not a good way to get started, i keep getting windows prompts now for a password no frontview no set up no nothing! mark
hi ok i have got things moving yes i have changed my admin password etc thank you, the nas ip is 192.168.1.64 the router ip is 192.168.1.254 do i need to change the nas to the router ip? will this then allow me to send files photos etc to the nas from my pc hard drives? i hate technology 🙂
