Thecus N2100 recovery

[jl.050877@gmail.com]

My Thecus N2100 ran well for years.  Then, the hard disk failed.
(I know the HD failed because I plugged it in to a desktop and it
made the same banging noise that it did when it was plugged into
the N2100.)  To prepare to install a new hard disk, I tried
arping/telnet approach as per:

but telnet times out:

# arping -f 192.168.1.100 && telnet 192.168.1.100 9000
ARPING 192.168.1.100 from 192.168.55.3 eth0

telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.100: Connection timed out

Any suggestions?
