Unrecognized NAS but no unrecognized devices.

[jph]

I have attached a NAS on eth1 (internal) but the device is not recognized.  There are no unrecognized devices in WebAdmin Advanced> Configuration > Unknown Devices.

Ther does'nt appear to be dhcp service on eth1?  Any ideas?

[jph]

Enabled DHCP server on internal network in WebAdmin (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Network_Settings).  Verified that DHCP leases were issued in WebAdmin/Advanced/Network/DHCP Leases.

 Can see the storage device as a samba share from Kunbutu desktop but still not detected by lmce.

 No unknown devices in WebAdmin/Advanced/Configuration/Unknown Devices.

In case this happens to anyone with the same luck as me:

I connected to the drive from my windows network.  The web admin page for the NAS showed zero disks.  During storage, gravity managed to un-seat the SATA from the connector mounted on the case.  The drives are pushed onto the connector from the rear of the chasis.

The drives were re-seated on the connectors and the system was re-started.

The NAS was immediately detected and automatically configured.
