NAS Box Moved Network - Help!

[spireite_uk]

Hi fellas

I have a WD MyBookLive 2gb. I recently moved house. Unplugged NAS at old house, got internet at new one, plugged MBL in and connected ethernet. Got a nice solid green light, but no drive mapped and can't see the device under Network.

Downloaded the MBL installer thing that detects your NAS and sets it up on the network (this - http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=902&sid=185&lang=en), but that doesn't detect it either. I've swapped ethernet socket and restarted the box just in case, but the same issue.

Can someone tell me where I am being stupid please?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a reset button on the NAS?

Could still be retaining the ip, mask and gateway settings from the previous network.

If you hook an Ethernet cable up between the NAS and your computer, change your computers network card settings to match the subnet of the NAS, you should be able to access the NAS web ui and change the lan settings.

On second look, yes it does have a reset button. I don't think I saw it at first as it's a tiny one that requires a paperclip or something to press.

OCUK to the rescue again - thanks mate!
