NAS help needed

[TheBrooder]

I have an icy box 4220 connected to my orange livebox but I can't see it on the network.

I have disabled DHCP on the NAS and I've tried to obtain an IP automatically and also tried to assign an IP to it but either way I can't see it.

Now I'm not clued up on networking really so I need some help.

On the livebox my DHCP entries look like this

Subnet Net mask Start IP end IP Gateway
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.1
Broadcast Primary DNS
192.168.1.255 192.168.1.1

and this
Subnet Net mask Start IP end IP Gateway
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.145 192.168.1.244 192.168.1.1
Broadcast Primary DNS
192.168.1.255 192.168.1.1


So if I try to apply a static IP of 192.168.1.18 with subnet mask - 255.255.255.0, default gateway - 192.168.1.1
that should work right?

Does anyone have any suggestions please?

ok sounds good. How do I add the NAS to a workgroup?
