I just recently bought an SRPD50 2-bay NAS by Seagate. I connected it to my Ethernet switch and booted her up, first thing it asked me was the MAC address, which I identified in the back of the device and typed it in. No matter what though, I was not able to connect to internet, weirdly enough I am still given an IP, and it is being identified by the gateway. Even when I run an arp-scan everything is there!
I noticed on the back that the Ethernet port is half green, and half orange. That was weird enough for me, but when researching it, it can just mean slower speeds so I disregarded it.
Since I couldn't get any real connection to the internet the first thing I tried to do was to at least establish a connection between my devices. I set up an shared folder via Samba on my server, and tried connecting via that, but I couldn't get anything.
There's not like there is that much in the settings portion of this NAS, so I started connected my Ethernet cable to different things, but no matter where I connect it: server, switch, directly, I am still getting that same half orange, half green indicated on the NAS port.
I recently tried after some advice and research to SSH to it, and run some commands. I've pinged a server using an IP and a domain, and both have had no errors. When running up address, the state of eth0 is UP. Also, I tried restarting the networking service but, the command isn't found?? So i tried that as well.
