QNAP NAS Community Forum

How do I create a connection to my NAS localhost (127.0.0.1) from one of my VMs (windows 10) within the Virtualization station? I want to do this to create a way into my NAS from a VM.

Is anyone able to advise if this is even possible or help
Thanks

try manually specifying the NAS IP address instead - 127.0.0.1 within a VM is home to the VM

No I’m trying to create a way to access the 127.0.0.1 address of the NAS from inside my VM. Apparently this is possible however I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction

I want to do this in case my dhcp server has an issue and my network is down I can still access the NAS gui just like it is possible with Linux station and HD station. I have a VM which starts up automatically with my GPU card so have a way into the NAS if something goes wrong with firewall/network.

Thanks

I have created a work around.

It would help future readers of this thread if you explain the workaround

I just configured a static IP instead of DHCP on my primary LAN virtual switch as this would allow me into the NAS once I manually configured another device in the same subnet. I wanted to do it the localhost way but this way works too.

it is for in the event that my pfsense firewall fails to start up correctly and as a result no DHCP.
