March 31, 201313 yr Author tried switching unraid to use DHCP but still no change. tried switching back to rc11 (reverted network.cfg -- back to static ip) still same problem.
March 31, 201313 yr tried switching unraid to use DHCP but still no change. tried switching back to rc11 (reverted network.cfg -- back to static ip) still same problem. Do you have the unRAID server set to be the "Local Master" under Settings->SMB ? If not, set it to "Local Master" = "Yes" Joe L.

Do you have the unRAID server set to be the "Local Master" under Settings->SMB ? If not, set it to "Local Master" = "Yes" Joe L. Reverted back to rc11 like I mentioned earlier. Tried both use dhcp and not. Running ipconfig /flushdns and nbtstat -R to just be certain between all config changes. Tried setting 'Local Master' to yes (restarted server) and still no change. Tried using dhcp and not. No matter what it appears I just can not get to the unraid box with the hostname.. just ip address. Guess I will just have to resort doing a hosts entry for any computer I want to access the webui with. Only reason I even notice this problem is that unmenu links always use the hostname (even if you navigate to it using the ip address) http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting#Name_Resolution If I start the array.. then the SMB shares work just fine using the hostname.
March 31, 201313 yr Author talked to someone that knows about linux, he says the problem is that im relying on samba to resolve the host name, if the array is stopped and smbd/nmbd isn't running, it's not going to work. so set it to use dhcp for ip and dns. set local master to no. rebooted box. logged into the box, checked for smbd, nothing: root@husky:/var/log# ps -ef | grep smb root 3873 3022 0 23:06 pts/0 00:00:00 grep smb started array, now i see: root@husky:/var/log# ps -ef | grep smb root 4035 1 0 23:08 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D root 4041 4035 0 23:08 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D root 4052 3022 0 23:08 pts/0 00:00:00 grep smb sure enough now net view shows the box and I can get to it via the hostname on the network. so it just appears that if the array is not running i cant get to the array via hostname.. only ip.
March 31, 201313 yr Hi Zoggy, Caught your post in the RC-12 release thread, so I came over here to help you out. Yes, your friend was correct. This can be fixed so it will not occur again, Can you tell me what firewall you are using? How many PC's in your network? -- Sideband Samurai
March 31, 201313 yr Author I have about 12 pcs in my network. Mostly all windows.. Router I use is a D-Link DI-724GU ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127202 ). I figure I could always do the hosts file method but ideally I'd not like to do that.
April 7, 201313 yr Hi Zoggy, sorry for the delay. If you log into your router. Go to the DNS section of the router software (NOT DYNDNS) and place the host name and IP address in that section then save the configuration, that should solve your problem. Make sure the DNS service is turned on also. -- Harold
April 7, 201313 yr Author no such thing as a 'dns section' in any of the areas I see. its fine, its just as i suspected.. if the array isnt started i have to use the ip address not the hostname because i rely on samba. ill just use the hosts hack for the one computer i care to mess with the unraid box..
April 8, 201313 yr One of the Windoze PCs is probably the local master and not playing nicely. Set Unraid to Local Master and reboot all of the other PCs and I bet it works.
April 8, 201313 yr Author already tried the local master. doesnt do anything.. since smb doesnt run until the array starts.
April 9, 201313 yr already tried the local master. doesnt do anything.. since smb doesnt run until the array starts. It is not the smbd service you want running, but the "nmbd" service, since it is the one used to resolve names. http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/nmbd.8.html Perhaps putting something like this in your config/go script might work. /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
