Note: If you enter an IP address manually, you must provide DNS server
information if you want to access your ReadyNAS system over the Internet. For
more information, see DNS on page 161. If the IP address changes, your
browser loses its connection to your storage system. To reconnect to your
ReadyNAS system, use ReadyCLOUD to rediscover your device. See
Discover and Set Up Your ReadyNAS on page 10.
