gus1234 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) Hi, I've rececntly moved all my computers back downstairs and I found when I connected it all up again I cant access my unraid server from my windows machines. I've tried deleting the network config files and copying my backed up config files but I still cant seem to connect to my unraid server. Not sure if I didnt set it up correctly in the first place? Ive attacthed my system logs here as well. Here's an overview of how my network is setup: Overview of the computers I have: Working computer - Windows 10 machine - Windows Machine where I do all my work Unraid server - which Ive set up to hold all my files Render computer - Windows 10 machine - an extra computer that I have that I use for rendering Backup computer - backup machine which is soley used to backup the unraid server How they're all connected: Currently Im using this switch QNAP QSW-M408-2C which I've connected all of the above computers togther using a 10gbe card (Asus XG-C100C) On the config side: To setup my unraid server I followed this tutorial - Howevever I should note he assigned static IP's in unraid and on the 10gbe cards which I didnt do (at least from what I understood) Here is a screenshot of my unraid network settings: Not sure what Im doing wrong? Or if Ive correctly setup my unraid server. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks! tower-diagnostics-20240626-1900.zip Edited June 26 by gus1234 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Do you mean you cannot connect to the GUI or just the shares? Quote Link to comment
gus1234 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Thanks for your reply! I can connect to the GUI fine, I just can’t connect to my shares on my windows PC’s Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Can you access the shares with the IP? \\192.168.0.189 Quote Link to comment
gus1234 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Yep I can, though the issue is any data that is sent/received over the network doesn’t go through the 10gbe card which I want it to. Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted June 27 Solution Share Posted June 27 For that you need to configure the 10GbE NIC using a different subnet: Quote Link to comment
gus1234 Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Thank you! I will give this a go Quote Link to comment
gus1234 Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Okay it’s all working correctly now it seems! Thanks for your help! To explain what I’ve done, I’ve split my internet and Nic to different ethXX and set them to use automatic ips. I did this also for the Nic in the windows computers, Though I’m curious in the tutorial he sets up static ips is this necessary? It looks like the NICs are getting ips from my switch if understand correctly? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 If they are directly connected you must set static IPs, if the switch acts as a DHCP server you don't need to. Quote Link to comment
