Ripcord Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hi Guys Here's my situation - I have a Buffalo Linkstation NAS connected to my old router - The router starts with 192.168.1.1 and I had assigned the NAS 192.168.1.20 Now I have changed my ISP and got a new router (Firtz!Box) - I now have connected Buffalo Linkstation NAS connected to my new router - The router starts with 192.168.178.1 I don't see the NAS in the network drives. Also the Firtz!Box router has a built in NAS too. Any idea how I can make the Buffalo Linkstation NAS appear on my network ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPreston Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Plug the nas into your pc and set a static ip to 192.168.178.25 255.255.255.0 and access the nas ip in your browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Or change the routers IP to 192.168.1.1 http://en.wiki.edpnet.be/index.php/FRITZ!Box_Fon_WLAN_7340_-_LAN_settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cryton Subscriber² Posted December 1, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted December 1, 2014 If the router is doing DHCP and giving out IP addresses in the 192.168.178.x range, and your NAS is on 192.168.1.1 then you have two different IP networks and you need a router configured to move data between them both. I would give your laptop or desktop or whatever a static IP of 192.168.1.something (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and then log onto your NAS and change its IP to 192.168.178.something (choose something that is outside of the 192.168.178.x DHCP scope). Then when your NAS unit has a 192.168.178.x address, remove the static IP from your laptop/desktop and let it get a 192.168.178.x address from the router's DHCP server. You should be good to go then.

sc302 Veteran Posted December 1, 2014 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2014 I would just change the router to 192.168.1.1. It will be the least amount of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted December 1, 2014 MVC Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah changing router to 192.168.1.0/24 seems like less work.. But I like to see that some makers are getting away from default of 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, I keep toying with renumbering my network to 10.0.0/24 just because its easier to type IPs.. I specifically set my router .253 because when you plug devices in they like to default to 192.168.1.1 or .254 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 did as +Cryton suggested. What I did was fired up my old router and then changed the ip of the NAS using NAS Navigator from Buffalo after that it's working Thanks & cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
