March 8Mar 8 My Flash drive was failing and I went through a long ordeal to get a new flash drive working. That involved making BIOS changes, a couple different flash drives and trying to restore multiple different backups. Finally have it up and running from a three week old backup. But . . .I could no longer get to the server WebGUI from other PCs and the shares are not available on the network. I confirmed that the server had internet access and the internal IP address (192.168.0.10) had not changed. I had just recently set up Tailscale on the server before the flash dies and the backup I restored from was from before I installed the Tailscale plugin. So. I went to the Tailscale site and removed the route to the Unraid server. I could then get to the Unraid GUI from another machine - yay! I could see the unraid server on the network, but I cannot access the shares. I went back to the Tailscale site and removed the Unraid server and my other machines from the managed devices. Still no luck. I'm not sure if the issue with the shares is some other config issue due to Tailscale or something else entirely.I'm just really at a loss. Everything had been working for years before I had to replace the flash drive. Any ideas on what I should be looking at?
March 8Mar 8 Author Here's the diagnostic file.I've also discovered some more info on the problem. The Unraid server shows up in Windows Explorer as HomeNAS (which is the name of the server and how it has always appeared). When attempting to open that network computer it would have shown me the available shared in the past. When I try now, windows cursor will spin for a good while then report "Windows cannot access \\HOMENAS". . However, If I type in \\192.168.0.10\sharename \OR \\homenas.local\sharename\ into windows explorer I can access the shares. Not sure why the old format is not working.Now that I am able to access the server, I do have a flash backup that is only a week old vs. the one I used which is three weeks old. If this problem is due to some configuration mismatch due to the age of the backup, like the Tailscale issue above, I'm half tempted to reflash with the later backup.TIAdiagnostics.zip
