Hi everybody, I can't reach TS 431 over my local network since today. It has been working fine since over a year but today,....
I usually see it and access it via my Mac's finder. I can't exactly recall what kind of connection I've been using but as far as I remember I had configured SAMBA and the other windows option which I can't recall the name. Both worked like a charm. Today I can't see the symbols in my finder's left side fav. list.
I have rebooted the NAS about an hour ago and it booted like usually w. the long beep at the end of the booting process. I can't see find it in my router list and it is still not visible in my data browser (Finder) . I noticed that it had quite a lot of HD activity after the boot. Still not visible. I'm by no way savvy to manage this alone. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
MacOS El Capitan 10.11.6
P.S. I can't reach it over the cloud too. It says that QLink is either not working properly or is not installed. Well it is because it worked all fine until today. No idea what the problem is.

if there is still HDD activity now let it continue (and wait)
if not, boot it without disks and see if it is reachable then

Activity is an ongoing process since at least an hour or so. So booting it without disks means shutting it off first and then remove the discs for a new start up? HD activity has calmed down to a low to moderate noise level

Yes I have but not recent ones. So how to insert them back into the bay? Is this done while the NAS is working or do I have to turn it off before installation of the HDs?

turn off the nas
remove the disks
turn on the NAS
see if the NAS boots (qfinder/dhcp reservation/etc)

Re: Can't reach TS 431 over my local network since today
then a fixed ip for the NAS instead of DHCP might be a good idea for you
