[Help] IP Address changed and I'm stuck

[poopydoodle]

One more thing, there is currently no other *.142 IP address on my network. I ping it, with the NAS off and get requests timing out with 100% packet loss.

I am having serious forum posting issues...I posted a few responses, then a duplicate one, because it wasn't showing, so I delete it and now it is showing all my posts deleted...so I will try putting all of the info again in this post...it might have already all been said:

I reset my NAS multiple times and each time it makes me change the IP address, then it borks out again. I'm at a loss. I did boot it up with the m.2 drives, but the HDD's are out at the moment. My Dad is a linux man and helped me with the command line and even he said it sound like I killed my NAS. Is there a way to bypass changing the IP address and still initialize?

I did the Ifconfig down then up commands and saw these messages on the back up:
Direct firmware load for rt1_nic/rt18125b-2.fw failed with error -2
Unable to load firmware

Is there a way to upload the firmware via a USB? I would be happy to try that. I tried before, but was unable to locate any firmware, just boot loader stuff and I wasn't sure if that was the same or not.

I did the cat /usr/lib/version command and got this: TOS_X642.0_5.1.145

Also, there is no other *142 on my network. I ping it and get 100 packet loss with requests timing out.

I need some serious help, please.

No.
They are not the same thing.

Have you set static IP on the TOS network or router?
In TOS version 5.1.145, it is unable to successfully modify the IP when using a static IP.

I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. This has me so frustrated, I haven't even wanted to look at it lately.

I've tried static and not on the router, both act the same.

This morning when I reset the NAS, it just beeps at me.

I'm about to return this on warranty, just don't know how what to try or do anymore.

I spoke to support and redid my hard-drives and re-initialized. All is good, so far.
