We had a lightning hit just outside of our house.
It fried out garage door opener, my motherboard, hard drive, dvd, a small 5 port switch, and my 16 port switch.
My DNS-321 (192.168.22.6) has not worked right since either, but it originally was pingable and now it won't even ping. It lights up with blue lights on each side, they are flashing, but I don't get a ping back. Ideas?

Thanks for any and all help/suggestions.

Assuming your hard drives are undamaged, there are options available to mount the drives in a PC to retrieve your data. The DNS-321 formats hard drives using a Linux file system. Windows applications exist that will permit you to mount drives with the Linux file system on your PC. Alternatively, you can install the drives in a Linux PC and pull the data.

Please let me know what apps you are referring to. Thank you!

The application I mentioned in my last post may be for-pay software. There are freeware applications available, but I don't recall any names off hand.
