ReadyNAS OS 6.1
Note: NETGEAR recommends that you use DHCP address reservation to
make sure that the DHCP server always assigns the same IP address to the
interfaces of the ReadyNAS. The MAC addresses of the physical interfaces are
shown on the Network screen.
Note: If you enter an IP address manually, you must provide DNS server
information if you want to access your ReadyNAS system over the Internet. For
more information, see DNS on page 175. If the IP address changes, your
browser loses its connection to your ReadyNAS storage system. To reconnect
to your ReadyNAS system, use ReadyCLOUD to rediscover your device. See
Discover and Set Up Your ReadyNAS on page 12.
