Solution
The system
doesn’t appear on
the network.
By default the d2 Network is configured to retrieve its IP address from a DHCP server. If your network is managed
by a DHCP server and you cannot access your d2 Network, try checking your DHCP server’s log. To get the IP ad-
dress, run LaCie Network Assistant, which is located on the LaCie Storage Utilities CD-ROM. If your network is NOT
managed by a DHCP server, the d2 Network uses its default IP address, which is 192.168.xx.100. To change this IP
address, use LaCie Network Assistant.
Is the IP address properly set?

you will need to manually configure the address; please see section
