Connecting Hard Drive via Ethernet Port Hub Two

Have just joined NowTV BB coming from Vodafone and having had Sky previously, I foolishly assumed the router would be at least comparable with the old Sky routers.

 

Having 'gone live' yesterday, I am rebuilding my LAN, but cannot get my Freedom NAS drive to connect to the network.

 

Have tried both static IP and DHCP but the router fails to recognise it in the attached devices. I don't really care about this, but I cannot ping it or access it via host name or SMB.

 

If I reconnect my old Vodafone router to the LAN all is good and I can access the drive.

 

Any thoughts?

Solved!

I am a muppet!

Ethernet was set to Gigabit but the NAS is only 100BaseT. Doh!

Switched to 'Fast Ethernet'  - Job's a good 'un!😀
