looking for IP address of NAS drive

[wfriedwald]

I have a MAC with a NAS drive attached - I am trying to find out the IP address - I tried this command with the following result, but I do NOT know which of these is the NAS drive. Help!

Your router has a list of connected devices, does it not? The NAS would appear in this list.

thank you - so next question, yes, I do have a NETGEAR network hub - that's the hardware router - how do I get the IP addresses from that? thanks for the feedback!

Usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1

Based on your arp -a output, your NAS drive is clearly identified by its hostname nas326

nas326 (192.168.1.157) at 7c:77:16:92:78:96 on en7 ifscope [ethernet]
nas326 (192.168.1.157) at 7c:77:16:92:78:96 on en0 ifscope [ethernet]

First ping 192.168.1.157
Then, 'Go' > 'Connect to Server ' and add 'smb://192.168.1.157'.

If you type this http://192.168.1.157 in the browser, you'll see the NAS Admin login UI

I use the app "IPScanner" which will show me the IP address of everything on my network, including the NAS. Then rather than type the IP address into a browser, I just access it through IPScanner.

(I didn't get IPScanner for that purpose...but it works well.)
