Directly Attached Storage

Currently I connect to the internet with a USB Wireless dongle (on wlan0)  via router (192.168.0.1).

Previously my Thecus NAS (192.168.0.100) was attached via the router. I now want to have this directly connected to my computer using eth0,

However when I plug the cable into eth0 my computer refuses to see the NAS. Cannot ping etc.

Any help appreciated.

My ipconfig is as follows:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:05:69:9C:C7 
          inet6 addr: fe80::230:5ff:fe69:9cc7/64 Scope:Link

Re: Directly Attached Storage

You need to configure either your NAS to serve out DHCP leases, or set the NAS and your eth0 to use static addresses....

Thankyou very much worked like a treat. Not surer if what I did was correct but if anyones interested this is what I did:

1) My NAS was already using a fixed IP - 192.168.0.100
2) I copied /etc/network.d/examples/ethernet-static to /etc/network.d/eth0-static
3) Edited eth0-static as follows:

CONNECTION="ethernet-iproute"
DESCRIPTION="A basic static ethernet connection using iproute"
INTERFACE="eth0"
IP="static"
ADDR="192.168.0.101"
#GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
#DNS=("192.168.1.1")

4) Upped the network - netcfg eth0-static and I can see and mount my shares on the NAS

So once again fukawi2 thankyou.
