Need ip address for Buffalo LS-WXL Series S/N 65850124513392

Without the Model of the NAS device it's difficult for anyone unfamiliar with the unit to research and provide an answer for you.

However, you can go to the Buffalo website, and either download the manual, which contains a troubleshooting section with error codes and other information in it or you can contact Customer Support.

Here's the website -

Go to IP address of NAS box logon and then choose the maintenance menu in there select the drive and format

Unfortunately, it is not possible in NAS unless it has a facility to mount LUN to windows server by ISCASI.

If you are using a Windows OS to access the drive, you will be unable to read the filesystem on this drive, as Windows cannot read XFS file systems which Buffalo uses.

Try downloading/booting off of a Linux live cd (knoppix, ubuntu, etc), they are free for download from their respective websites, and should be able to read that XFS partition.

In your laptop, try to put an IP Address, subnet mask, default gateway and preferred DNS server. (please see below)

example:

IP address: 192.168.1.13
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

DNS Server: 192.168.1.1


note: 192.168.1.1, is where your modem or your internet is connected (or the IP Address). This is the one that is provided/configured by your Internet Service Provider.

You have to change the DNS servers on your PC's internet connection.
Instead of using DHCP, type in the two IP addresses from your account at dydns.com.. Right click on your connection icon and choose, "properties".. In the panel presented, choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) the last item in the panel. Next click 'properties' and remove the dot from "obtain IP automatically". Next, type in your new DNS server IP's. The top panel is for you PC address which has to be between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.224. It doesn't matter what IP you choose as long as it is not an address used by another device). The subnet mask will fill itself in. Default gateway is 192.168.1.1. In the bottom panel fill in your new IP's. That's it.

You must install it again so it obtains the new addresses from your new hardware configuration. You'll need your installation CD and can find instructions/downloads on the Buffalo site (support).

Try opening network connections TCP/IPv4 on your pc and add ip address manualy to be in the same number match the same as your router ie default gateway and preferred DNS Server eg 192.168.1.1 or 10.1.1.1 depending on what default the router is set on the ip address should be the same apart from the last no. eg 192.168.1.8 or 10.1.1.8 subnet mask will default to the right setting if you push the tab key after entering the ip address

Hope this helps
