Greetings all.
Not a great start to my Xmas.
I have two DNS323 units, both running ffp.
I had a power loss and the found out that I could not connect to the oldest one.
I have switched it off an on numerous times. I have even tried the reset button.
I have tried connecting a PC to it directly and hardcoding an IP address on 19.168.0.xx on the PC.
The EasySearch utility was worse than useless. It did not even find the second DNS323 ?
The unit is retaining it's 192.168.2.101 ip address.
After a good deal of playing around, I have found that my mapping works again. Phew, that is a relief. :-)
However I am unable to connect to it via the ip address, or via telnet.
In a browser I get '192.168.2.101 refused to connect'.
In the command window and telnet I get 'Connecting To 192.168.2.101...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed'
At the moment I still have my data, and I can always remove the disks if need be, BUT does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get back into it please?
I have no idea why it managed to keep it's IP address when I used the reset hole several times as a last resort.
It also holds all my music for streaming around the house.
I also have another hard drive hanging off the USB port for Downloads. I was able to access that data now and again, when not able to access Volume_1 ?
TBH it has been a few years since I even played around with either unit. I set them up, and left them to it. They have behaved flawlessly over the years. This is my first hiccup with one of them, other than a hard disk failure a good few years back.
Any and all ideas welcome please.
