Network hard disk stuff again

[ffutures]

I've been asked for more details - since I don't think the network disk is accessible from outside I might as well post them for everyone:



It's a no-name network hard disk housing, containing a 350gb hard disk
Host name = "Hermione"
Group name = "Aeronef"

IP - 192.168.0.6
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS - 192.168.0.1
DHCPS - Auto
IP pool starting IP - 2
IP pool ending IP - 253

The network status thingy in the iBook says

configure IPv4 using DHCP
IP Address: 192.168.0.101
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1

I've tried running network diagnostics but it says everything's OK.



To reiterate, I can connect to the internet and to a network printer, and my other computers can connect to Hermione, but suddenly the iBook can't.

Any suggestions?

Did you ping "Hermione" or "192.168.0.6"? Try pinging the naked IP address of the HD and see what comes back.

Pinging 192.168.0.6 gives 10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet losss
round trip min/avg/max/stddev - 1.612/3.498/14.325/3.720ms

Looking at the list the first was the long one, after that they were mostly under 2ms

That shows there is IP connectivity between the iBook and the hard disk. The problem is occurring at a higher protocol level and I can't really help you with that, not at this distance. Sorry.
