I have no idea how this is even possible. I have an ECS NM70-TI (motherboard/CPU combo) with 8GB RAM and a 1.5TB drive connected to it. It's connected via ethernet cable to a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router, which is in turn connected to an AT&T U-Verse router. I have wireless turned off for the U-Verse router and turned on for the Buffalo router.
I can do literally everything with this setup if I connect with a device wirelessly. Mounting shares via Windows and OSX, logging into the web interface, ping, etc. But the second I plug an ethernet cord into my laptop or desktop I can no longer even see the NAS. "Destination host unreachable" per the ping statement.
This issue resolves itself when I move the ethernet cable over to the U-Verse router.
So basically:
Server
NAS --- ethernet cable --> Buffalo --- ethernet cable --> U-Verse Router
Client
Works: Laptop/Desktop --- wireless --> Buffalo
Doesn't Work: Laptop/Desktop --- ethernet cable --> Buffalo
Server
NAS --- ethernet cable --> U-Verse Router
Client
Works: Laptop/Desktop --- wireless --> Buffalo
Works: Laptop/Desktop --- ethernet cable --> Buffalo
I have tested this with FreeNAS, NAS4Free, and Limetech unRAID with the exact same result. This has to be some weird router configuration thing I can't place.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this behavior would be greatly welcome.
