I have a NAS (LinkStation Mini). Its windows software identifies it correctly. I want to identify device and its IP and mount the same.

You can pull up the Window's ARP table with "arp -a" (without the quotes) the at command prompt, since it is already communicating with the device based upon your description. It's ARP table should contain the device's MAC-to-IP mapping for its communication.

  • "Its windows software identifies it correctly." Go to the Windows system and perform the described steps to obtain the currently assigned IP or assign the device a static IP when you can access it. – user48838 Jul 29 '11 at 14:25
