User Manual page 59
Problem Question to Ask Solution
The system
doesn’t appear
on the network.
By default the 5big network is configured to retrieve its IP address from a DHCP server. If your network is man-
aged by a DHCP server and you cannot access your 5big network, try checking your DHCP server’s log. To get
the IP address, run LaCie Network Assistant, which is located on the LaCie Storage Utilities CD-ROM. If your
network is NOT managed by a DHCP server, the 5big network uses its default IP address, which is 192.168.
xx.100. To change this IP address, use LaCie Network Assistant.
Is the IP address properly set? For more information, please see section 3.1. Accessing Shared Folders.
Is your network DHCP enabled? If your network is DHCP enabled, please refer to sections 2.3. Connect-
ing Using LaCie Network Assistant. If your network is not DHCP enabled,
you will need to manually configure the address; please see section 2.4.
Configuring the 5big network on a Network Without a DHCP Server.

Mac OS 9.x?
If you are using AppleTalk under Mac OS 9.x, ensure that the LaCie 5big
network and the other clients on the network are in the same AppleTalk
zone.
A user does not

tions must be met: 1) the administrator must create and register a user with
the appropriate privileges; 2) the LaCie 5big network must be connected
to the network via Ethernet for additional users to access the drive.
