impossible connection network to 192.168.1.100

[jeanpaulascain]

Hi,
I excuse myself I do not write very well English, sorry!

I bought recently a case Thecus 2100 and it does not function:

THECUS 2100 equipped with:

- 2 DD SEAGATE SATA II Barracuda 7200.10 320Go IDE 7200t 16Mo
- Interface Web of Thecus configuration is by defect on the IP 192.168.1.100
- my network is in 192.168.1.xxx

- modem adsl "Freebox" router footbridge configured on IP 192.168.1.254
- 1 computer "JPB Ubuntu" on IP 192.168.1.1
- 1 computer "Toto Mandriva" on IP 192.168.1.2
- 1 computer "Bob" on Win98 IP 192.168.1.31
- 1 server to print to IP 192.168.1.20
- 1 server to print to IP 192.168.1.21

* The command unix "ping" is ok on all the IP
* the computers go on the Web
* the print servers function with the printers

The networks appears OK !

Concerning Thecus 2100

- 2 DD SEGATE SATA II installed delicately in Thecus 2100;

=======================================================
At the time of the boot to the starting of Thecus 2100
========================================================

- Del "Power" enlightened blue

- Del “State system” Orange color twinkling does not ignite with starting
or it is very very fast
- Del “Disk hard 1” the blue diode flicker then dies out after the boot
- Del “Disk hard 2” the blue diode flicker then dies out after the boot

- Del “LAN-1” high connector lan green diode luminous a flickering all 3 or 4 seconds
- Del “LAN-2” low connector lan green diode luminous a flickering all 3 or 4 seconds (if connected)

=======================================================
State of the elements connector industry of the network
========================================================

- connection right cables (checked) for all on the switch;

- the fixed diode light with the back of the interface network 1 of N2100 is green;
- the second diode light with the back of the interface network 1 of N2100 is green flicker

- the diode of the switch which corresponds to the interface of the network is also lit
- the other diodes of the switch are lit on all connections networks

=========================================================================================
Test of configuration of Thécus N3100 1st method with the address Web 192.168.1.100
=========================================================================================

- Access to the interface of configuration of the THECUS 192.168.1.100 by Firefox answer "do not can establish a connection...
- the command GNU/Linux "ping" of the THECUS N2100 on 192.168.1.100 IP by defect - > not of answer

- on the other hand I reach without problems the interfaces Web of the print servers at 192.168.1.20

- on the other hand the command GNU/Linux :

root@atlon-jpb:/home/administrateur# for i in $(seq 1 254) ; do echo -n "192.168.1.$i " ; ping -c 3
192.168.1.$i >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "UP" || echo "down" ; done

This order sends all the IP to me active of the network with the mention 192.168.1.xx up or down according to the cases.

But the of Thecus N2100 IP 192.168.1.100 is not inactive !

This following order GNU/Linux tests scanne an address IP e interfaces networks when this address is not designed to answer the order “ping” it indicates the opened ports, OS... :

root@atlon-jpb:/home/administrateur# nmap -P0 -O 192.168.1.100
Starting Nmap 4.10 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2007-02-12 21:49
CET
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.497 seconds
root@atlon-jpb:/home/administrateur#

- this order does not find a port active on the IP 192.168.1.100
- then that it finds the other interfaces of the networks IP 192.168.1.1 & IP 192.168.1.20, etc

2nd Method of configuration by software on OS Windows 98:

- 1 computer under Windows 98 IP 192.168.1.31
- Installation of the software on Win 98 of Thecus NR 2100
- launching on Windows of the judicious software to recognize case THECUS
NR 2100 with its characteristics and tools of configuration
- The software does not find any Thecus on the network!

Discs SEAGATE Barracuda 7200.10 320Go IDE 7200t 16Mo are in SATA II

- They are recognized by a user like functioning on the THECUS NR 2100 in the English forum devoted to the THECUS
- a jumper makes it possible to configure them in of SATA
- tested Thecus NR 2100 with the discs configured in SATA II (without jumper)
- tested Thecus NR 2100 with the discs configured in SATA (with jumper)
- In both test that does not change anything, Thecus NR 2100 is not recognized on the network
- Thecus NR 2100 makes it possible to put only one disc (what makes it possible to relieve the power although planned for two hard disks)
- tested the NR 2100 with only one disc and two hard disks in the two tests that does not change.

Two astonishing things :

-1° with starting the function “power" functions, but when I want to stop Thecus N2100 I push on the button "power/stop", out this operation does not function !

- 2° If I want réinitialiser Thecus NR 2100 I press on the small button which is on the back of the Thecus, out the apparatus, does not stop to set out again what is the normal procedure for a standard rebootstrapping.

What can I make?

Cordially,
JPB

1. Welcome to the forum

2. Are you using the correct network port? The other one is 192.168.2.100 and it's easy to plug it into the wrong one.

3. Did you buy it new or used? If you bought it used then you may need to do a factory reset.

4. To do a factory reset hold down the reset button when you power on the n2100 and hold it pressed in for at least 10 seconds. This will reset the network ports and the admin password.
