bearcat Posted May 26, 2023 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2023 So, some years ago I helped a friend to install DSM 6.x on a HP N54L Microserver, based on Jun's 1.0x bootloader, and I left it running with DHCP based IP for the ease of moving it between my and his "homelabs". Down the road, he was giving it a fixed IP, outside his local DHCP scope, all OK. But, when moving to a different location it was stored for a while. New location, new ISP and new router with a different IP range, now its getting complicated... When it was time to hook it up, no connection (naturally). And the tricky part is, he has totally forgotten both the IP and the IP range he used to have. The question: How can we find, and connect to the HP so the old fixed IP can be changed to reflect his new IP range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gingerbeardman Posted June 2, 2023 Share #2 Posted June 2, 2023 Connect a computer directly to the HP, it should switch assign and you can then log in and reset the DHCP setting in DSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first thing I tried, but as the NAS and the PC are on totally different IP ranges, Synology Assistent is finding nothing. I might find the time to install an extra NIC (Intel) and get that going with DHCP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So,
some years ago I helped a friend to install DSM 6.x on a HP N54L Microserver, based on Jun's 1.0x bootloader,
and I left it running with DHCP based IP for the ease of moving it between my and his "homelabs".
Down the road, he was giving it a fixed IP, outside his local DHCP scope, all OK.
But, when moving to a different location it was stored for a while.
New location, new ISP and new router with a different IP range, now its getting complicated...
When it was time to hook it up, no connection (naturally).
And the tricky part is, he has totally forgotten both the IP and the IP range he used to have.
The question:
How can we find, and connect to the HP so the old fixed IP can be changed to reflect his new IP range?
