Network Setting Error

[pj]

Hi,

I received my new Thecus 2100 yesterday and tried to set it up however at the end of the setup process when it was saving settings it came up with an "Error saving network settings" message or some such, all other elements were ok although I was only presented with an option for an FTP server and not an iTunes server.

Anyway, state of the nation now is that I can ping the IP but nothing else. The setup wizard can't detect it on either LAN1 or LAN2 and the Admin interface doesn't appear to be running either.

I tried holding in the reset button for 10s on power-on but that doesn't seem to have done anything, ie it is still responding to configured IP address and not the default.

Any ideas?

?? IP conflict where two machines are trying to use the same address??

Have you tried the second port. It's default is on a different subnet.
ip= 192.168.2.100

No IP conflict. Will try the IP on the other port when I get home although the setup wizard didn't detect the unit when the cable was plugged into LAN2.

It doesn't surprise me that the setup wizard didn't work on the second port. That port probably isn't running the correct service (UPNP?)

would you expect the web interface to be available on both ports or just LAN1?

[ryebank]

Web GUI is available on both IP's on mine

Well it seems it has just come good

Can get to admin interface but can't add modules (might be uploading wrong format) nor can I access any shares I've created even though the shares are browseable and public it is still requiring a user/pass.

One thing to be aware of is that most of the modules have been excessively tar'ed and gzip'ed a few times over and you'll need to untar and ungzip them a few times before you can load them.

Unfortunately you may need linux shell access to do this many windows zip programs cant handle gzip...

Try www.izarc.org/ - handles most formats and is free (though I have noticed it seems a bit slow on big archives)

I've got Stuffit on my Mac OSX and worst case is I'll just use tools on one of my Linux servers
