By default the LaCie CloudBox is configured to retrieve its IP address from a DHCP server. If your network is managed by a DHCP server and you cannot access your LaCie CloudBox, 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 no DHCP server detected, the product will run APIPA to assign itself an IP address.
Q: Is the IP address properly set?
Q: Does your network require devices to be assigned a static IP address?
