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

Went through the steps to check the file system (--rebuild-tree) and now the disc comes up as unmountable (no file system 32) reiserfsck 3.6.24 Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/md4 Will put log info to 'stdout' ########### reiserfsck --check started at Sat Nov 11 21:53:35 2017 ########### Replaying journal: Replaying journal: Done. Reiserfs journal '/dev/md4' in blocks [18..8211]: 0 transactions replayed Checking internal tree.. Bad root block 0. (--rebuild-tree did not complete) Nextstep?

Thanks for the reply. Hope this is what you needed: tower-diagnostics-20171111-2058.zip

It was suggested that I post my issue to this thread. Long story short...I have some folders I am unable to access and the New Perms Tool hasn't been able to fix the permissions. Here is the original thread and the steps I have tried to fix the problem (thanks to the guidance of Frank1940):

Will do. Thanks again!

Telnet via putty shows /mnt/user/Videos/Mac/2012-02-25 for one of the folders I cant access But /mnt/user/Videos/Mac/BIKES123 works perfectly

Thanks again for the help Frank I ran the New Perms tool when I first tried to fix this problem and again a couple of times today and it still is doing the same thing. I just looked at the folders again through putty and they have the same permissions as the snippet I pasted above. Not sure why the permissions are different on some of the folders...they were all written to the server the same way...through Windows explorer. Still stumped..........

This is what I came up with on one of the folders I cant access: total 33675278 drwx--x--x 1 root root 2880 Jul 12 2014 ./ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 48 Apr 10 2017 ../ -rwx------ 1 root root 45103104

Thanks Frank...I will follow your instructions this weekend and post back. Really appreciate the help.

I have read and read and searched the web but cant figure out an answer to my problem. I am running 6.2. My shares are set up as Movies, Pictures, Videos, TV Shows. Under Videos I have many videos from my camera or drone set in folders named by date. I can access all the shares fine, but about half the folders inside the video share I get a request for a user name and password. This happens if I try to access from either of my win 10 pc's or from my Kodi box running libreelec, so I know its not a windows problem. I tried setting up a user name 'dan' with a password in the unraid gui. This doesn't work to access the folders. I ran the new permissions script and it didn't help. Ive tried to go through windows explorer and make sure the permissions are set correctly but haven't been able to change them from traverse/execute to full control. I get access denied errors. All shares are set to public in unraid gui. Any ideas where to go next?

Yeah, also having second thoughts about it. I'm considering keeping my photos on my main computer (which as SSD for OS and swap), and using the unRAID box only as a backup for them (one of the many). Thats what I do. One copy on my main PC, and back-up on the unraid box. All photoshop, etc. is done on the main PC.
