doodoo Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Also, i can't access the share folders in Windows Explorer. The only way to get to the webgui is by the ip address. Everything was fine yesterday so I'm not sure what happened... Link to comment
Automatic Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 A. Isn't it \\? \\Tower\, \\ marking it as a share, tower being the DNS name and \ being the root directory? Not // B. Try in your browser, http://tower/ C. Did you change any DNS settings on your browser/computer/router/unraid box? Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 If you have assigned you server a fixed IP address, the server may not be the your router's table of 'names' that are used to resolve names to IP addresses. If that is the case, you will have to use the IP address for your browser to gain access. Link to comment
doodoo Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 i have the unraid box permanently at 192.168.1.199 and that's how i gain access to it with my browser. my concern is that i've lost access to the share folders. I didn't do anything for this to happened....so confused. Link to comment
dgaschk Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Use \\192.168.1.199 to access the shares. //192.168.1.199 accesses the webGUI. Note the slashes. Link to comment
CaptainSpalding Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 If that does not work I would connect a monitor to the unraid and see that it really starts up.. I have had the same problem when the unraid starts the scheduled parity check. Link to comment

I have had the same problem when the unraid starts the scheduled parity check. I just "Have that issue". My operating system (so it seems) doesn't seem to respect local hostnames, which is saddening. Oh well, I never use hostnames on windows anyway, fixed IPs are so much easier. Link to comment
doodoo Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 i can access the tower with the ip address but i can't map the drives with windows explorer. so how do you access the drives with fixed IP? I've attached the system log file....maybe you can help. system_log.txt Link to comment

I've attached the system log file....maybe you can help. Read this for an explanation of what has to happen with Windows/Samba networking. http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/windows/ntwsguide/ntwsnfinding.html It also helps if you set your server's 'Local Master' setting to 'Yes'. You will find this setting under 'Settings/SMB'. It also helps if you shutdown EVERYTHING (including media server boxes-- These are all running Linux SMB and many of them can end up being the Master Browser) except for your server after making the change. Then power everything back up. Don't be in a hurry as it can take a long time to get everything to settle down. (Read the times intervals for the various client/Master Browser communication packets. ) Link to comment
doodoo Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 thanks. Local master is Yes since day one...i'm just puzzle as to why lost access to the disks all the sudden. Can i reinstall unraid or upgrade it? think that will fix the problem? Link to comment
