[QUOTE="mickb, post: 857865, member: 13105"] I have just relocated and inherited a cable internet connection. The router that came with the connection has ISP modified firmware that doesn't allow me to change the LAN IP address (192.168.0.1). From my previous location I mapped my MP system to a NAS with a static IP address (192.168.1.100) which has me in a quandry. If I change the IP on the NAS, I will need to remap the drive and will loose all of the settings of watched shows in "My TV Series & Moving Pictures" etc. My setup uses Win 7 Home Premium and a Thecus N5500 NAS over a wired network. I have set my NIC up as a static IP address (192.168.0.6) (with the DNS and gateway of 192.168.0.1 etc) and added a second IP address (192.168.1.6) in the Advanced Tab to my HTPC with no gateway. In this configuration I can/can't: [LIST] [*]I can connect to the internet [*]I can Ping my NAS unit [*]I can open a Firefox session, enter 192.168.1.100 into the address and open the NAS configuration [*]I can't browse to the NAS unit to view the shared directories (The path was not found) [/LIST] Can anyone advise if it is at all possible to make any further config changes that will allow me to browse the NAS unit on the second sub-net or do I just bite the bullet and change the NAS IP address?
