However, since I reconfigured my network it won't work. In a nutshell I set my Virginmedia Superhub to Modem Only mode and now use my Edimax router for internal network traffic which is then connected to the Superhub. In doing so I changed the Edimax' network properties to be identical to the Superhub as it saved me having to go around changing anything that pointed to a fixed IP address. That all works fine.

However, are they the correct DNS settings for the NAS as it now has the router sat between it and the modem? I know it's a ridiculously simple question but I'm scratching my head.. what being out of tech support for ten years does for you :)

Surely your DHCP range should be /24, or are you doing something funky with your network?
