Hi, I'm trying to use a seagate business nas as a pure 1-time backup device. I want to xfer many TB and then just disconnect it. There are USB 3.0 ports on the device but it doesnt seem like I can xfer files using that. My router is 100Mbs and thats not fast enough so I tried to set up a direct ethernet connection. I followed this guide to set up a DHCP server on the PC.

Everything seems to be set up according to the guide. The NAS is assigned a new IP address and shows it has a gigabit connection to the "network". However, I cant ping the device. I turned off windows firewalls. I used IP scanner. I tried restarting the NAS. I'm not 100% sure on the assigned address but dont see why it would get any address if it was wrong. The DHCP IP range was 169.5.5.1 - 254. I think I remember the NAS IP being 169.254.5.52 255.255.0.0
Anything obvious I can check?
