Restore an iomega / lenovo storcenter ix2 -ng How to restore a dead iomega / lenovo storcenter version ix2-ng this is the version that comes with its own drives and only 1mb of online storage Since this device comes with its own drives the company decided to install the system on those hard drives instead of on board and when ever those drives. Install firmware. Put the disk in the nas, plugin the stick, power it up, and after about 10 minutes (depending on your USB stick), the box should power-off.

Executive Summary: ------------------- I have an Iomega Ix2-200, probably first generation, purchased and installed in 2010. After setting it up, I adapted it to my home network needs, and it has worked flawlessly since. Recently, my computer died, and I bought a new one.

I restored everything from backups, and have been happy. As to the install, I recovered everything except EMC/IOMEGA’s StorCenter management application. So, I installed the StorCenter software from the original 2010 install disk. It could not discover my device, and failed to get through the initial screens.

Furthermore, subsequent to the unsuccessful device discovery, my network has been extremely slow. Any accesses to the NAS device are very slow with long hourglass waits for each access. (I am running Win7-64.) Result: my NAS performance has degraded significantly, and I still do not have a management path to my device. Details of my network: ---------------------- After initial installation, I had some issues accessing the NAS from some wireless laptops, so I reconfigured my router and the NAS device details so that the IX2-200 was on a fixed/reserved IP address. This did solve that problem. (That problem is in the past, and no longer relevant.) Also, of potential note, I have 2 routers – a Verizon router, from my ISP provider, which connects to my “real” home network router (Netgear WNDR 3700).

This Netgear router has an IP address of 10.0.0.01. My computer is a dynamic IP address, (right now it is 10.0.0.14).

The IOMEGA IX2-200 is a fixed reserved IP address of 10.0.0.9. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. DHCP address start at 10.0.0.2. The IP of the Verizon router is 192.168.1.1. The Netgear router is shown as 192.168.1.2. Wild guess: ----------- I wonder if the fixed IP address is the culprit, and my install of the StorCenter software has somehow mucked up the settings inside the IX2-200, thus resulting in the now-awful performance. Of course, I can delete the reserved IP address for the NAS device in my Netgear router, but I am worried of making a bad situation even worse.

I apologize for the verbosity; I am hoping to give as much information as necessary to help. I am expecting the answer might be quite simple, and I am thankful, in advance, of any assistance or suggestions. Hi leskoonk, What is the firmware version on your device? Cara buku di google book tanpa software download.

I would recommend using the reset button on the back of the device to reset the network settings on the ix2-200. You can also connect the ix2-200 directly to your computer with the ethernet cable provided or any cross-over cable. Instructions to Direct Connect to NAS: Unplug the NAS from the router Unplug the pc from the router (if the pc is wireless, disable wireless) Using Ethernet Cable, plug the NAS directly into the pc with no other devices attached. Restart the NAS and wait for it to boot COMPLETELY 100% The NAS will request an address from the PC which will be an APIPA address (this is a 169. Address) Open up your Start Menu and type in CMD in the search bar and select the CMD program.

Type in 'arp -a' in the cmd prompt The first time you use the arp -a in a cmd prompt, it gives you the 169.x.x.x address of 'The PC' You may have to arp -a twice to get the NAS address. The second time you use the arp -a I will get another APIPA address in the 169.x.x.x address Take the new address and use it in the web browser just like normal to access the device.

This should allow you to access the web interface to manage the device and change any settings that you need to. Also, if there are multiple routers in your network this can create a double NAT problem, but if it was working previously on the same network I don't think this would be the case. Also, I would recommend downloading the newest version of Storage Manager. Here's an update: 1.) I deinstalled the old StorCenter, and reinstalled the newest one, per your suggestion.
