Change to IP broke Admin

    Hi All,

    I host my test (first) wordpress site on my Synology NAS, sadly due to were I live I have a naff Sky ADSL router, and every now and then it decides to re-assign the IP of my NAS.

    Since my NAS has been given a new address I cannot get to the admin login page, and the blog renders with no theme loaded.

    As this is the first time I’ve worked with WordPress or PHP (I’m a .NET man normally), all I can presume is that part of the admin auth process is to check the refering URL, and as it orginially was 192.168.0.2, it won’t authenticate against 192.168.0.2

    Sadly getting @ my Sky router admin pages isn’t an option as Sky won’t give me the details.

    Any help would be appreiated.

    Cheers

    Carl

    If the Synology Nas configuration utility allows you to set a static ip for the device, that might be the easiest solution. Setting 192.168.x.x on the Nas would probably force reassignment of the same internal ip address.

    Luckily I managed to find on the web my router’s login details, and associated a static IP to my NAS’s Mac address.

    Rebooted my NAS, worked a treat.

    Little concerned for the near future though, as I’m only using my NAS box as a sandbox, I want to development my site on it, wrap it up and deploy to a hosted WP hosting company.
