I have a iomega NAS 1 tb, i used to plug it in the router until my isp moved to fiber optic and now the alcatel lucent i240wr modem cant see the NAS. (standard modem provided by telmex company in mexico)
several weeks ago, i still could see the drive with the iomega home storage manager, now, i (plugged to the modem). Now, the modem can no longer see / recognize / detect the NAS.
So, i use a twisted ethernet cable to plug the nas to my laptop, but connection is very unstable, i have to "reset to factory setting" very often in the day because i lost the connection and some times that even does not help.
Sometimes is "0x80070035 network path is not found"
sometimes is a i/o device error
i have made the test of pluging it directly to the ethernet, with standard cable
and goes fine, for less than 5 minutes.
i have windows 7 professional
i bought a new router netgear n750 because net gear told me their router could
acces the nas, but..the modem cant be set to bridge mode so i cant use the router
So..anyone would like to try?
Lets focus on that issue first.
How is your NAS configured to connect to the network? Does it have a static IP address?
I am thinking that maybe your NAS was configured with a static IP, and when you changed routers, the new router was configured for a different subnet than your nas (e.g. your NAS was 192.168.1.xxx and your router was 192.168.0.xxx), that would explain the behavior you were seeing.
So please tell me:
- How does your NAS get an IP address? Is it static? Or via DHCP?
- What is your NAS's IP address?
- What is your computer's IP address?
- What is your router's IP address?
