If this happens, users need to remove your server from their list of network account servers and then add it back. If your server provides its own DNS service, you can use the Server app to update it.Ĭhanging your server’s IP address may disrupt the connections of users’ computers that have macOS installed. If your DNS service is provided by your ISP or another server on your network, ask your ISP or the DNS server administrator to update your server’s DNS records. Also, a reverse lookup of the new IP address must point to your server’s host name.

If the IP address can’t be edited, change the Configure IPv4 setting to Manually or “Using DHCP with manual address.”Īfter you change your server’s IP address, the DNS server for your network must be updated so that your server’s host name points to the new IP address.

When you try to access your NAS, it will say Connection Failed. Enable management functions such as link aggregation, VLAN, and RSTP, to take care of your network topology with ease. After upgrading to macOS Catalina, you may experience a sudden and persistent inability to connect to your NAS. The DHCP server should be configured to assign your server the same IP address all the time. QNAP Switch System (QSS) is the configuration interface for QNAPs managed switch series. In this case, the DHCP server for your network assigns an IP address to your server. The issue appears to be a firmware update 4. QNAP Finder found it with a red 'NEW' showing (between Version and MAC) with the same IP address, and thankfully the same credentials. You can’t change the IP address if the Configure IPv4 setting is Using DHCP. After trying different ethernet cables, did a shut down (hold power until beep) and restart.

This shared folder will let you modify the Homebridge config files without dealing ssh'ing into the docker container. If you want to create a special folder, open QNAP's File Station, and make a new folder (I created one named 'Homebridge'.

Click Advanced Settings > Shared Folders and map a QNAP folder to /root/.homebridge.

I found if you do not do this your phone will not be able to communicate w Homebridge, and scanning the QR Code will result in the iOS Homekit app spinning.
