Excito B3 NAS - ethernet turned off‏

Post by ranem »

Hi,
I have a problem with my Excito B3 NAS. I’ve been using the NAS over the past period and never a problem, but some weeks ago it suddenly didn’t show up in my network anymore and it didn’t go online. When I restart it, everything seems to work perfect. The LED turns blue, the ethernet cable blinks for connectivity, but there’s no activity in the network, the B3 doesn't request a lease (on my modem the LED for the LAN port stays off).

Here’s what I tried to solve the problem:
- I’ve placed a different HDD in the NAS with the Excito software on it, and that works. Hence the ethernet port is working properly.
- I’ve used an USB-LAN adapter, but the Excito B3 doesn’t respond, where other LINUX systems do.

I believe the correct sollution would be to give the command: ifconfig eht0 up, but I really don’t know how to give that command to the system. Does anyone here know how to solve this problem? Is there software that I could use to solve/analyse this problem?

That was indeed the first option I tested. Both ethernet ports has been turned off, so no luck there.

So it runs if you use another disk, but you need to check what's wrong with software on current disk? Is that right?

If so, I see two options: run the device from rescue stick (which would allow to check if all is OK with the drive), or solder serial connection and debug over serial.

I managed to fix it using the rescue stick. Thanks for the support

Please describe what you fixed so that others may also find use in this thread. There's few things as annoying as trying to solve a problem, finding a forum thread that describes your problem with a solution, but without a description of that solution.
