Title: Possible to re-boot the NAS remotely without login?
Post by: liammaps2010 on August 12, 2010, 11:40:37 PM: If you can't access your web page log in because the web server is down, is it possible to re-boot the NAS with some commands over the internet, when you are away from home?

My webserver goes down from time to time, preventing remote or local access to the admin page of my NAS. Uggh!!!!!

Very interesting. How do I do this?

D-Link says they have seen this problem. It is a bad batch of product and that I should exchange the unit. Frigg!!!!!

Yes, bizarre!!! May be the tech I talked to was being lazy.

Post by: jamieburchell on August 14, 2010, 02:26:05 PM: Perhaps he identified which exact part of RAM the web server is loaded in to and diagnosed a faulty memory module. In reality, he probably was being lazy or that particular eventuality wasn't covered on his support crib-sheet. :)
