[Discuss] Synology grumbles Re: DIY NAS

[Daniel Barrett]

I eventually found out what turned my Synology DS508 into a "brick" and was
able to fix it. The embarrassing answer is: user error. The configuration
software, Synology Assistant, requires some additional UDP ports (9997,
9998, 9999) in order to access the NAS.  As soon as I opened them up via
iptables on my client computer, Synology Assistant found the NAS and I was
able to reinstall the OS and get it running again.
