How to change the TwonIP address on Maxtor Shared Storage II

Post by fspikker » Sun May 03, 2009 5:11 pm

Hi there,

I have Twonky installed on my Maxtor Shared Storage II. Works very well so far!
Because of change of service provider I was forced to reconfigure my home network for a large part :o(
I changed the IP address of the MSS-II from 192.168.2.3 to 10.0.2.222. I was assuming the Twonky IP address would automatically change along.
But I'm not able anymore to reach my Twonky server. I used to configure it using 192.168.2.3:9000/config.
10.0.2.222:9000/config doesn't work and the Roku's that have DHCP 10.0.2.X addresses can't reach my Twonky server, Internet radio works fine. I can reach the MSS-II console by just browsing to 10.0.2.222.
So I switched back the IP address of the MSS-II to 192.168.2.3 and manually set my PC IP address in the 192.168.2.x range too. I'm able again to browse to the maxtor interface at 192.168.2.3, but not to Twonky at 192.168.2.3:9000/config..

Now what can I do?

One pretty rigorous option I can think of is to reinstall Twonky on the MSS-II once it has the new IP address.
But I don't know if that has any side effects, and I presume there should be a simpler method to achieve simple changing of IP address..

Please let me know asap, I'm out of my favorite music!

Cheers, Fred.

Problem solved!
No problem after all.. Just a matter of patience!
All works fine now, so just changing the IP address at the Maxtor admin page is enough.

Cheers, Fred.
