Pretty sure Ant can build you one with a rasberry pi.

Nope, but there's only one restore point - created automatically on Friday evening - so that doesn't help. (Ticked the "Show more" checkbox and nothing else appears. Damned thing.)

I have no other active Windows boxes, and I'm not faffing around finding and swapping the harddrive I took out of my netbook since I'm approximately 5000% certain the NAS is correctly configured and the issue is with this Windows instance.

Does the network interface use DHCP or a static address? Either way, you shouldn't be getting a 169.254 address on the interface, so either check that DHCP is still working, or assign a new address to the interface.

No DHCP server, afaik. I did originally intend to setup DHCP+DNS on my Pi but didn't have time initially and then everything was working with 169.254 so I just left it.

Can you connect to anything else on the Ethernet adapter? Config looks a bit... nonstandard.

The network engineer in me thinks that 169.254 should never be used so that it's obvious when they crop up that something is wrong. But then there's at least one example of paid work that I've done which uses them for the wireless access points VLAN. Such a cowboy.

Give it a proper IP address and see if that helps.

Definitely some totally unconventional setup going on here, which is no surprise.

I can SSH to the Pi via it - at present only the three devices are connected.

Yep, gonna have a go at setting up the Pi as a DHCP server, but probably tomorrow when I'm (hopefully) less tired.

There's nothing deliberately unconventional - it really was just get the NAS connected enough to shunt files around and make space on the main machine and I'll set things up properly later, then it's always just been oh it's working good enough for now.

I fecking hate "good enough for now". :@

Doesn't whatever router you're using to connect to the internet have a DHCP client on it?

Yeah, as I said somewhere above, the 169.254.X.X range is the automatic private IP addressing, usually only used by default when a client machine can't connect anywhere and gives itself an address.

I can imagine PB using it for his network address though. :C

Making sure everything's on the same subnet should be the first thing to check, unless PB's got a huge amount of hosts or some weird routing somewhere, it should only need a /24 range, looking at the ipconfig, he's got a /16 on the windows box.

PB - what're the IP settings on the NAS?

Get a proper router and use that as your DHCP server. Don't arse about with other devices.

Do it a more conventional way and it'll no doubt work properly.

The router is my mobile, using wifi tethering.

The NAS and Pi are on ethernet only, connected via a dumb switch.

The NAS is 169.254.184.206 and matching 255.255.0.0 subnet (again, this was working fine for six months).

You'll be delighted to know that when I setup DHCP I'm gonna use class A. :>
