192.168.0.254, with a
Subnet Mask
of 255.255.255.0. (The
Storage Server's default IP Address is 192.168.0.2, with a
Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0). Remember that each device
needs a
unique
IP Address, and the
same
Subnet Mask.
Problem 2:
Using the Storage Server Utility, the Storage Server is listed, but
the Admin button doesn't work.
Recommendation 2:
The Storage Server's IP Address is not compatible with your PC’s. Use the
Quick Setup
button to assign a compatible IP Address and Network Mask
(Subnet Mask) to the Storage Server, then click
Refresh
.
Problem 3:
The Storage Server is configured, but I can't find it in Network
Neighborhood.
Recommendation 3:
Try using
Start>Find>Computer
, and enter the Storage Server's name.
Or, use
Control Panel>Network
to check the following:
1.
TCP/IP protocol is installed. If not, use
Add>Protocol>
Microsoft>TCP/IP
to install it.
2.
Check the network Bindings:
•
Ensure the TCP/IP protocol is bound to your Network card
(NIC).
Select your Network card, click
Properties
, and then the
Bindings
tab. If TCP/IP is not bound (checked), check it.
•
Ensure the
TCP/IP -> Network card
entry is bound to the
Client for Microsoft Networks
service.
Select the
TCP/IP
entry for your Network Card, click
Properties
, and then the
Bindings
tab. If
Client for
Microsoft Networks
is not bound (checked), check it.
3.
If you don't have a router, check that your IP Address is
compatible with the Storage Server's. This means it needs to be
from the same address range (e.g. 192.168.0.3 to
192.168.0.254) and using the same
Subnet Mask
(e.g.
255.255.255.0)
