My setup is just a little different than the diagram you posted. 4 ports coming out of the brighthouse unit. 1 port to bedroom streaming box. 1 port to a switch in my office ...that goes to a tv and home pc. 1 port to server. 1 port to livingroom. 1 - Office - switch -tv and PC Brighthouse ports - 2 - Bedroom 3 - server 4 - Livingroom - Orbi - Port 1 - streaming box Port 2 - streaming box The livingroom cat 5e wire goes to the Orbi, and then the ports on the back of the Orbi were being used to feed 2 streaming boxes. With the above set up everything attached to the Orbi could not see the server. Everything else coming out of the brighthouse unit can see the server. I went to Office depot, picked up a 5 port switch and put it before the Orbi...1 port of the switch to the Orbi, and 2 other ports from the switch to the streaming boxes. Now everything can see the server. 1 - Office - switch - tv and PC Brighthouse ports - 2 - Bedroom 3 - server 4 - Livingroom - Switch - Port 1 - Orbi Port 2 - Streaming Box Port 3 - Streaming Box This new set up works.

Thanks...Ive been thinking about your post and I guess that would be the reason nothing connected to the Orbi's network ports can see my Unraid?

Scratch all the above...I went ahead and erased windows creds...added my unraid creds...and now I can access shares again. Thanks for everyones advice!!!!

These are the settings where i'm at now: From Unraid flash drive: # Generated settings: IFNAME[0]="eth0" DESCRIPTION[0]="" USE_DHCP[0]="no" IPADDR[0]="192.168.0.12" NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0" GATEWAY="192.168.1.1" DHCP_KEEPRESOLV="yes" DNS_SERVER1="192.168.1.1" DNS_SERVER2="" DNS_SERVER3="" MTU[0]="" SYSNICS="1" From Orbi settings page ip address 192.168.0.21 IP subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway IP address 192.168.0.1

I had a dlink router before the orbi. I pulled that out and replaced it with the Orbi and that's when I started having problems.

Thanks for the help. I did a lot of rewiring and experimenting today and found out a few things. As I posted above I go from the brighthouse router/modem unit to a few different locations. From the 4 ports out of it one goes to the home pc, another to a bedroom. Another heads to the livingroom and the main Orbi. If I have the server in the 4th port...everything can see the server except the orbi and everything attached to its 4 network ports. If I plug the server into the orbi the orbi and everything attached to it can see the server. Today I went ahead and removed all the network cables from the back of the Orbi and ran separate wires to all the livingroom boxes. The orbi is on its own cat 5 cable and now everything can access the server again....except anything wirelessly connected to the Orbi. Another strange twist...my laptop wirelessly attached to the orbi can open the unraid gui....but cant see any unraid shares through windows explorer.

Still not making much headway here. It has been happily strumming along for years....not sure what happened.

Not really sure how to check that. Under flash/config/network I see: # Generated settings: IFNAME[0]="eth0" DESCRIPTION[0]="" USE_DHCP[0]="no" IPADDR[0]="192.168.1.45" NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0" GATEWAY="192.168.1.1" DHCP_KEEPRESOLV="yes" DNS_SERVER1="192.168.1.1" DNS_SERVER2="" DNS_SERVER3="" MTU[0]="" SYSNICS="1" The orbis Ip address is 192.168.1.1 gateway is 192.168.0.1 and subnet is 255.255.255.0

Yes, I pulled the Orbi just a few minutes ago and put my old dlink access point back and still the same. Cant access unraid when plugged in to my switch or direct into the brighthouse router/modem. Thanks for the replies..........

No, not able to ping

Ive been using Unraid for years and never had a issue accessing it until this week. The problem started some where around the same time I changed my wireless system to an Orbi system but that doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem. As I said I can no longer connect either through a web browser or windows explorer...or my various Kodi boxes. Not with windows, android or even Putty. Quick rundown...I have a brighthouse router/modem. The router section is turned off. One of the 4 ports on the back goes to a small switch and that goes to a PC, my unraid server and a small tv. 2 other ports go to different rooms and various tvs/streaming boxes. The last open port goes to the Orbi router. The Unraid stopped being able to be accessed so I did some troubleshooting and thought it was the nic card. Changed it and no go. Checked for ip address conflicts...none. I tried bypassing the switch and plugging directly into the router/modem and still nothing. The strange twist...if I run a long network cable all the way through the house and plug it into a port on the back of the Orbi I can see and connect to the unraid no problem. Strange to me because the orbi is plugged directly into the same router that the unraid box wont work directly through. I'm going crazy here....any ideas?

Success! Changing over to 4gb of Ram worked wonders. New Perms now fixed the problem, and my Unraid is much 'snappier' with the 4gb compared to the 1gb I had in there. Thanks to everyone who helped!!!

Success! Had a few issues but with the help of some forum members everything is working correctly. A quick rundown of the steps I had to take: After posting the diagnostics I was told I needed to check the file system on Disc 4, and also that 1gb of ram was not enough. I checked the file system and had to run 'rebuild tree'. Tried a couple of times and both times it never finished, and my disc 4 was showing as unmountable. It was suggested that this was because there wasnt enough Ram, so I upgraded to 4gb and re-ran rebuild tree. This time it worked, so next step was to run New Permissions again, this time it worked perfectly and all my folders now work as they should. Thanks to everyone for the help. Edit: as a side benefit, everything runs much snappier with 4gb of Ram compared to the 1gb I had in there.

Of course...Office Depot doesn't carry ram, Staples I usually go to was closed down and best buy was out of all DDR3 for desktops in store. Ill order some from Amazon and get it here Tuesday.... Edit: Bought a 4gb stick from Amazon with one day shipping. It should be at my house when I get home from work. Ill update this thread after I put it in and re run the script.

So I guess first step would be to add more memory and try rebuild tree again. I will see what I can find locally today. Thanks
