LaCie 2big Network User Manual Troubleshooting page 59 ■ Problem ■ Question to Ask ■ Solution The drive is not recognized by the computer. Did you follow the correct installation steps for the specific interface? Review the installation steps (chapter 3). The two cables cannot be connected at the same time. Are both ends of the interface cable firmly connected? ❖ Disconnect the interface cable, wait 10 seconds and then reconnect. ❖ Ensure that the interface connectors are properly aligned. The interface cables can only be inserted one way. Make sure that they are correctly oriented. ❖ Check that the interface connectors are straight and fully seated in the interface ports. ❖ Only use certified interface cables, such as the cables provided with your LaCie drive. If you have followed all of these steps and the drive is still not recognized, shut down your computer, wait 3 to 5 minutes, restart your computer and try again. In the event that the drive is still not recognized, take the drive to another computer and attempt to connect the drive. If the drive is not recognized on another computer, please contact your LaCie reseller or LaCie Customer Support. The drive doesn't appear on the network. By default the 2big Network is configured to retrieve its IP address from a DHCP server. If your network is managed by a DHCP server and you cannot access your 2big Network, try checking your DHCP server's log. To get the IP address, run the LaCie IP configurator software tool, which is located on the LaCie Storage Utilities CD-ROM. If your network is NOT managed by a DHCP server, the 2big Network uses its default IP address, which is 19X.x6X.x.100. To change this IP address, use the LaCie IP Configurator software tool. Is the IP address properly set? For more information, please see section 4. Accessing the Shared Storage. Is your network DHCP enabled? If your network is DHCP enabled, please refer to sections 2.3, Connecting with LaCie Ethernet Agent or 2.4, Connecting with the IP Configurator Wizard. If your network is not DHCP enabled, you will need to manually configure the address; please see section 2.5, Configuring the 2big Network on a LAN Without a DHCP Server. Are you using AppleTalk under Mac OS 9.x? If you are using AppleTalk under Mac OS 9.x, ensure that the LaCie 2big Network and the other clients on the network are in the same AppleTalk zone.
