Cannot access server (cross posted in several places)

Might have done something stupid...
I have a server running with the default name of Tower.
Started up a second server for test. Forgot to change the name so it's also called Tower.
Started the new server.
Realized my mistake and renamed it to TowerTest. I can access the TowerTest.
When I look in My Servers I can see both server. The original Tower says Online and Remote Access but when I try to access it I get "xxxxxxx.unraid.net’s server IP address could not be found."
The server is still up and running, all dockers are up and accessible. It's only the Unraid interface that I cannot access.
I cannot access the console (all black) but I can ssh into the server.
Any suggestions?

Let's see if this can be fixed an easy way.  The problem is actually in your router.  It has two entries with a computer-name of 'Tower'.  This causes confusion...

 

First, the easy way. Unplug the router for five-ten minutes.  Plug it back in.  Wait for it to finish booting up.  Then reboot everything else on the network.  Now test.  (This should work unless the DHCP assignments are being stored in flash memory.)

Afraid that is not the case. I get a single resolve when I ping Tower and there is only one entry in the router for Tower.

My suspicion is that the 'My Servers' somehow got it mixed up when there suddenly two servers named Tower and one of them got renamed to TowerTest.

I might try to rename the 'Tower' server to 'TowerMain' in the ident.cfg file and see if it solves the problem.
