Hi Neowinians!

 

I'm a not really experienced in network configs, I mean now the numbers of SUBNET MASK, etc.

 

My setup currently is:

Router: 192.168.1.1

Devices: 192.168.1.10+

 

I've got a NAS from a friend, which is configured for 192.168.0.1 as gateway and has an IP also something like 192.168.0.X. I don't know the exact IP of the device but in general, what do I need to do to connect the 192.168.0.X to my 192.168.1.X setup?

 

I believe I need to setup a IPv4 routing on my router?

What do i need to enter as value to connect the 2 subnets?

Well connect to the nas with an IP in its network, and then change it to use an IP on your network... Or set the nas to be dhcp, so it will pull and address and info from your router.

 

If you know the routers IP 192.168.0.x, set your computer static IP to say 192.168.0.1... Then do a ping sweep of the 192.168.0/24 network - ping 192.168.0.255, should hopefully return an IP and then you can connect to the nas with that IP and change it.

 

Or quite often they make software to do this for your specific nas.. Do you have a model number of the nas?

 

If you know its specific IP.. you wouldn't need to do the ping sweep.

 

Many of these nas have a way to reset them as well, then it should come up with a default IP you can use, or come up dhcp.

It's a D-Link DNS-320.

Now comes the 2nd tricky part, can i make this as my plex server storage. 😝

Media storage ... sure.  Don't expect it to be a Plex Server which can transcode though....

Well it does have gig, so lets hope its not too slow... Gig you should be able to get 100-113MBps

 

But even if could do half of that, it could still be storage for your media..

 

Glad you got in!

Question: Why no new versions of the Plex Media for model DNS-320L/DNS-325/DNS-345 ?
Answer: Starting with Plex Media Server version 0.9.17.0, NAS devices that use the following processors or operating systems are no longer supported ARMv5 processors.
https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/218212517-Which-NAS-devices-are-no-longer-supported-starting-with-0-9-17-0-server-

Developers Plex provide the program in the finished binary code. This does not allow the new PMS versions to be adapted for the ARMv5 processor (DNS-320L/325/345).

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
