If that works it's a DNS issue, if it doesn't, could you run traceroute to that same IP address?
Not from the NAS unfortunately, at least not that I know of...
Thanks for the advice Martijn. I tried Google's DNS servers and fetching new packages still hangs without connecting, so it seems the NAS sees the network (obviously or it wouldn't work at all) but can't see the Internet.The current network setup is: Router: Gateway: 192.168.0.1 DHCP range 192.168.0.2/20 0.2-0.6 are assigned to specific MAC addresses. NAS: Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Prim DNS: 194.168.4.100 Sec DNS: 194.168.8.100That seems fine to me. If you think it might be an issue with these particular DNS servers, you can always use Google's DNS servers to check (8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8).However, are they the correct DNS settings for the NAS as it now has the router sat between it and the modem?I don't see why that should make a difference, as long as the NAS can reach those servers it sould be fine. Martijn.
