Network issues

[Gino]

I was trying to set up a next cloud server so I could access my nas from anywhere. Problem was my server only had a local ip address you know a 10.0.0.123 type of address. I went into the hexos networking settings to try and change it. Instead of having a manual I p address, I changed it to automatic. This caused the website to stop( i'm assuming to switch from a local IP to a public IP) i waited several minutes for it to start up again with no luck. I went onto the nasa itself, and I plugged in a monitor and keyboard and I got alot of issues with characters that shouldn't be there to and a bunch of different graphical issues. I tried to at least put it back to a local ip So I could have my nas back but with no luck. Now it won't show up on my network as a hexos server when I type in the Ip address that used to be, for hexos, it goes to true nas. All of this, because I wanted a public I p address and yeah I did (ip add) in the linux terminal but all I got was a long list of characters that didn’t give me the ipv 4 or 6. Im at a loss of what to do next. I cant access any of my files and im concernd i wont have access to them without doing a fresh install of hex os but if i do that it will reformat the drives. please help.

i dont realy know what pictures to share or other information i should include so anything you need me to send ill do my best to navigate the onboard UI and snap a few pics. untill then the nas is off just bc i dont know what its doing when its on

Or another idea i had. i could disconnect all drives associated with the boot drive and reinstall hex os. BUT i know it was a big issue on launch that doing so would result in your old drives having to be reformatted. I'm not sure if that was ever adressed but that is another thing I could do. Does anyone know if that is possible, reinstalling hex os but keeping all data on the pooled drives?
