Do you access that anywhere but at home? Seems like you have that drive setup in advance DMZ mode.

I have 2 broadbands John. 1 for business and 1 for home. I've put a question up on here before regarding how shite BT Business broadband was... I'm assuming Dom has just remembered that.

That doesn't look like the 2wire interface but they normally are.

I don't know why a NAS box on the internal network has an external IP Andrew, that's why we are all discussing how strange it is.

As said, assign you NAS box (probably going to need to directly connect to the NAS box) an internal static ip address (in the 192.168.1.xxx range) and go from there.

Edit -
Quick question, if you plug one of your laptops via ethernet to the home hub, are you assigned an external ip?

The hint is in Home Hub... I can't see anywhere that states 2wire :boggle:


Isn't it still called Home Hub on the business side but the box is manufactured by 2Wire instead of Siemens?

Why would a NAS box have an external IP on an internal network :boggle: The model Alex has is based at home users.


The NAS box was getting assigned an external address, 86.150.x.x, and i assumed that he was on a business package with a number of external static ips....

I was just going to say those BT routers are a bag of shite!! I hate them, never do what you configure the bastards to do. BT support is useless as well... I don't bother pissing about with them anymore and rip them straight out if i can.

Completely cracked, found an old D-Link router in the garage, i'm now using that.

Works a treat, must be about 5 years old :lol:

DHCP would assign on that range if that is where the DHCP server is. No idea why the NAS box would do that but it looks like it has.


I'm confused how the DHCP server has assigned it an external address whereas the laptop(s) have been given an internal ip range :boggle:

It possible that it would not route due to lease on the iomega box not having the 192.168.1.1 as 0.0.0.0

Best bet is to assign the ip via manual at 192.168.1.100 or something.

This way it will always be 100, but check subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 other wise the laptop on 64 not route to the whole 0-254 range.

Do you have any computers configured for port forwards or in DMZ?

Use statics, and have the dhcp on an un routable subnet that way even if you get hacked and an ip is given it would route out.

Also could be a ARP problem on the laptop, lease on iomega has renewed still thinks its old address.

Reboot would flush the ARP cache.


No computers, but an xbox 360 configured in DMZ.

If i unassigned this, would it affect the way the hardrive assigned itself?

Why have the DHCP on an unroutable subnet? How would this help me mate.

I've tried that IP but nothing. That's the IP address it assigned itself.

I've completely deleted it now, and reset router...

how comes it's been assigned an external ip? Have you tried accessing it via that ip address? Does it work?
As for setting it up with a static internal address, it just means that you don't rely on the hostname instead you add the network drive using the ip address.

Josh - Yes they used to be set up like that.

I could do that, but I shouldn't have to. I should be able to just have my drives lying on my network as they were "U: V: X: Y: & Z:"

I have no idea why it's being a cunt now though.


Homegroup is turned off aswell... incase that would affect it.

can you access it manually? never bothered using a network drive but I assume you can access them via \\DRIVENAME?

I've got a network hardrive that has been plugged into my router for months, all fine and dandy.

The drives have just vanished, so i reset router / hardrive and nothing.

Plugged it into my laptop directly and all the files and folders are still there, no problems there....

Why has it randomly vanished? No settings have been changed....

I've re-installed the hardware, and gone through a basic setup again, still won't show.

I've tried to re-map the drives but it doesn't even show up on my network to map.

I've also gone into the router config, and it shows on the ethernet 2 socket (I've moved it to ethernet 1 and still doesnt show...)

Any ideas, as it's just annoying me now
