I know there are other threads which are similar, but it doesn't seem like any of them is exactly what I'm dealing with.
We had a lightning storm yesterday (I know, it's probably over, but I try). :embarrassed:
When it was starting up, while everything was still working just fine, I shut down the computer and the NAS and unplugged everything from them. Then, we had the worst lightning storm we've seen since we moved into this place 6 years ago.....actually hitting houses in the neighborhood....including at least a minor strike on our house (electricity jolting out of a power cord in the recording studio just moments after unplugging it from the piano, but it was still plugged into the wall). Anyway...
When I plugged everything back in and turned it all back on again, I couldn't get to my shares on the NAS. I tried to ping it, but couldn't recall the IP address I gave it the last time I reconfiged y home network in the spring.
I logged on as admin on my computer and fired up NASNavigator2 and it was silent. Then, I plugged the NAS directly into my computer with an Ethernet cable, and it found it. ....suddenly I recalled the IP address structure I used when I saw it in the details within NASNavigator.
I then tried pinging it, and it responded. However, I couldn't get into the admin interface via browser....it just doesn't come up. ...just gives me the usual error when it can't find the address I'm looking for, etc.
Also, in the details within NASNavigator, it says that the NAS is in EM Mode.
Other than taking the HDD out of the unit and checking it from a Linux system (which I know how to do, and have the resources to do if need be), is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this thing, and/or to fix it so that I can go on using it as normal?
I'm hoping that something just needs to be reset or whatever, but I can imagine it's just fried.
The things giving me hope are the fact that it is retaining TCP/IP configuration (and I can change that config with NASNavigator), and that NASNavigator is able to get the model series (displays as "LS-CL Series", IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and MAC address.
One more thing...
in NASNavigator, it's listed as follows: LS-CL-EM2B1
Any ideas?
