Nothingbutkale

Hey Thanks for all the help I figured it out. So if anyone was wondering here is what the problem was. Your idea of mapping out everything made me think of how my network is set up. ISP's modem/router hardwired to my pc and a mesh network. The reason I couldn't see it from the PC and the Surface device was that they were technically connected to different paths, (Dont know the technical terms for it but in layman's terms the PC is higher on the river than the WIFI) So since the server was connecting to the network from downstream the main PC couldn't connect to the branch. Long story short I should have made sure they were both connected to the same router XD .....

The connection set as private with "Turn on network discovery" turned on

Yes I can, Here is what I did and maybe you can tell me if I got anything wrong.... (Kinda out of my depth but enjoying learning about it) Main PC Cmd >> Ipconfig ping the IPV4 address Surface (device that has my Unraid GUI open) CMD >> Use the same address from the Main PC's IPV4 and ping. I am getting a response on both.

Nope, Tried the good old fashion cmd ping and nothing but request time outs

I used tower.local on the surface. I have tried both tower.local and the IP both dont seem to work on the PC.

So I just finished building my first home server and installed Unraid. I followed the guide, watched a bunch of videos on YT and came across a strange problem. Since my keyboard was attached to the server I used my Surface to do most of the initial setup. The array is building as we speak, but something strange is happening. I can log into the Unraid GUI from my Surface but can't even see the network on my main PC. Any guidance?>
