Subject:   How to find a NAS address

Hi,

  I recently needed to take the 250GB EIDE PATA disk from my "Lan Server 
- Ritmo CL3520" unit for use elsewhere. I have now got around to 
replacing the drive with another 250GB PATA drive and when connected via 
USB 2.0 - everything works fine.

  The problem comes when I try to access it via Ethernet - I simply 
cannot find it (and its web based configuration page) on my LAN. I tried 
the address I believe it used to be and I have also reset the system and 
searched for what the default address "should" be from the on-line 
manual I found. I've tried via X-over direct cable to a Windoze box as 
well as from eCS.

  This unit used to work (a couple of years back)  - I even documented 
this in ecomstation.ru's database!

  Any ideas how to find what IP address it's using (I have the MAC 
address if that helps) or if indeed it's working at all on the LAN now?

  Any Ideas ??

Hi Ed,

You could, using my example here, and opting for two pings to each 
address on 192.168.x.255, with (x=0,1) with CLI command of:
For %a in (192)do for %b in (168)do for %c in (0 1)do ping %a.%b.%c.255 
64 2 >> t:\desktop\what_answered.lst 2>&1

to generate a list of success/fail like the following:

PING 192.168.0.255: 64 data bytes

----192.168.0.255 PING Statistics----                               << 
[192.168.0 currently not active]
2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
PING 192.168.1.255: 64 data bytes  [active]
72 bytes from 192.168.1.105: icmp_seq=0. time=0. ms
72 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0. time=0. ms

72 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1. time=0. ms
72 bytes from 192.168.1.120: icmp_seq=1. time=0. ms

----192.168.1.255 PING Statistics----
2 packets transmitted, 6 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 0/0/0

If your NAS device is on a 10.a.b.c network run the values you think are 
likely for a,b,c

Hopefully that should help you - i don't have anything on other than 
192.168.1.x here, (and all on DHCP) so can't test theory, without 
permanently altering my Gateway router's settings.

Regards,
Mike

Subject:  Re:  How to find a NAS address

Hi Ed,

On the assumption the server part of your NAS is turned on :-)

You could try pinging broadcast as the NAS 'should' be using internal
IP address space as per rfc1918.txt.

ie

ping 192.168.0.255
ping 192.168.1.255
ping 10.0.0.255
ping 172.16.0.255

The range 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.1 are the most popular
but you should know what class of internal IP space you are
using, and the NAS device will by default normally grab something
from your DHCP server, likely to be in the x.x.x.100 range.

Currently on my internal network I only have the server and this computer
on I get :-

[C:\]ping 192.168.1.255
PING 192.168.1.255: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.41: icmp_seq=0. time=0. ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.26: icmp_seq=0. time=0. ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.9: icmp_seq=0. time=0. ms

ok, the cars plugged in for backup purposes, I forgot about that :-)

The VoIP is a different subnet for security through obscurity.

You should be able to go to your router configuration and display the 
DHCP clients.  Some routers will show the MAC address.  In any case, you 
could then try opening a session with each DHCP client until you find 
the right one.

In my home network, I give fixed IP addresses to my printer and NAS 
units.  Makes them easier to deal with.

Already tried that - the router soes not see the NAS.

Hi Alan,

Late getting back to this marked one.
Abiword wasn't ported to OS/2 because there was a Native version - up to 
about Version 9 or 10 IIRC, but they didn't keep it in step with 
releases for other platforms.

I think an IBMWORKS with filters for current document types would be 
just great!
I still use it for spreadsheets for local use and the odd document I 
need to print or send electronically!
The ToDo list is excellent too!

Mike

Hi Kris,

Well I know it was a few years back now, but the working version I had 
was pretty snappy. I can't remember what that version was, now, might 
even have been 8.x?!

seems similar to mine:

0[roman][E:\MPTN\BIN]dir ping.exe
The volume label in drive E is WARP452.
Directory of E:\MPTN\BIN

01-09-18   7:48      51304           0  ping.exe
        1 file(s)      51304 bytes used

but different results ?

Hi Voytek,

>seems similar to mine:

You have TCP/IP broadcast turned off internally ?
no arp ?

I only have it off externally, internally I figure if someones broken
in and is sitting in front of any computer here, whats the point of
disabling broadcast :o)

Voytek, if you are asking how come WindowsPing is not the same as OS2Ping,
then you are right - they are not the same. WindowsPing simply does not do
broadcast pings (x.x.x.255).

Hi John,

Does Windows do so when using an alternate I.P? Here for example with 
eComStation, in addition to 192.168.1.255, I get the same result with 
192.168.1.0!

Regards,
Mike

There never has been an Abiword OS/2 version, never.  Or you are 
speaking about another program, or you are referring to the very first 
Abiword versions which could be launched by means of Odin (alas not 
possible any more).
But there was never a native Abiword for OS/2, never.

OTOH, you might be speaking about Describe, that is as far as I can 
think. Or maybe Papyrus.
