Question to Ask
Solution
The system
doesn’t appear on
the network.
By default the Big Disk Network is configured to retrieve its IP address from a DHCP server. If your network is man-
aged by a DHCP server and you cannot access your Big Disk Network, try checking your DHCP server’s log. To get
the IP address, run LaCie Network Assistant, which is located on the LaCie Storage Utilities CD-ROM. If your network
is NOT managed by a DHCP server, the Big Disk Network uses its default IP address, which is 192.168.xx.100. To
change this IP address, use LaCie Network Assistant.
Is the IP address properly set?
For more information, please see section

Is your network DHCP enabled?
If your network is DHCP enabled, please refer to sections
. If your network is not DHCP enabled, you
will need to manually configure the address; please see section
