LS220D - sleep timer not working - IP address changing

[doobre]

HI there
I have encountered these problems with the above nas, while at the same time the other LS-WXL have had no problems staying connected and switching on/off at set up in the Sleep Management options, for many years.

The reason it seems is that somehow the unit will set it's own time zone to Japan along with the Japan ntp time server and therefore the wrong time for me here in NZ. This seems to happen if it does not start up 'correctly' when manually switched on, after it hasn't started correctly initially.
It then seems to get lost and gets assigned a weird irrelevant IP address (usually the third set of three numbers) eg: 192.168.11.135, and the Nas Navigator message appears something like "would you like to assign the nas an iP automatically or continue with the manual setting". Or around the other way!!
It happens about 3-4 times a year for me.

Hope this may help others to understand whats going on.
Cheers CD
