Connect My Cloud to computer

[navarrete72]

no, now the My Cloud is connected to the computer via cable. I assigned an specific IP address in the Netgear router for the MAC address of the My Cloud.

I found in another thread an explication for connecting via Static and Dynamic IP. The static method is quite similar to what I was doing, so I tried the dynamic version, which is more simple and it worked fine.

thread:

Can I load MyCloud by FIRST attaching to my computer and then later attach to router?

Ok, this worked, both using static IP and dynamic IP. I have my MyCloud device set up to prevent scanning and other services, since, at the moment, I’m not using it to stream music/video or backup Mac devices. This is to make sure I don’t get stuck waiting for a scan to complete. With MyCloud device attached at the router, and you sitting at your desktop, point your browser to the IP address of your MyCloud device. Log in.
