Ns01. DNS. Not set

The DNS is important, it needs this use the internet, so although you can see it on the LAN, it won't see the WAN and therefore won't get internet radio etc.

Your IP sounds like  you use an airport, which leads me to assume you have an apple. You need a pc to set the IP, if perchance you have VMware or similar on your mac this will work.

Thanks for the quick replies

My NS01 is running  overall version 1.4b sp5....Ive downloaded all files and burnt them  to CD ready for installation one at a time....the 1st downloadable update is 1.5...I've inserted the disc. the monitor I have displays in a small box on the top right  starting upgrade....10 seconds or so later it ejects the disc. I remove but leave the disc tray open.....after about 15 mins  the display on my monitor returns to normal. I turn the ns01 of by the remote, then via the rear switch I turn it off and then on...it boots up and is still displaying the same screen and firmware as before.....

I am using a windows 7 laptop

I have the nserv app installed on my ipad and iphone

I have the nserv desktop client installed on my laptop and neither can see the NS01

Am Idoing everything correct....

Ive checked my BT Hub and that doesnt see the NS01 either

HELP

Re done all my discs in iOS format but still no joy.   1st disc is ejected after no more the 5 seconds then the Ns01 shows system upgrade for around 20 mins then returns to home screen,  I turn of via remote then off on via rear button.   No change still showing original firmware.  

Sounds to me like you have network issues you need to sort out before you try to update firmware. I'd get the device working on your network before you update it. If you haven't already found it, this thread is a good place to start:

If you're still getting nowhere, pour yourself a glass of wine and write an email to Naim tech support. There's not much point in tearing your hair out for hours over something they can probably diagnose in minutes.

good luck...

What is your router ip address.

my feeling is your NS01 has been set to a static address by the previous owner. And this address is not in the range of your network.

You can reset the server to DHCP by restarting it with no network cable connected. When it has completely booted, power it off from the front panel button. Plug the Ethernet cable in and start it... It should be ok now.

I seem to remember searching for the set ip tool a while back, and struggling to find it. I did track it down on another product's page, can't remember which one but it's probably still there somewhere.

The whole 'set ip tool' thing has always been a mystery to me. There obviously must be a valid technical reason for it, it's just that I don't know what that could be, and I'm curious. I posted the question on a couple of other threads, but nobody offered an explanation.

The DHCP server (ISP router for most of us) is in control of IP addresses, and I used mine to fix an address for my Unitiserve last year. Before that my UPnP playback was all over the place; afterwards, it's been rock solid ever since. I'd just like to understand why doing any more than that might be necessary.

IF you do what I said, you will revert to DHCP, no need for SetIP Tools.
