y2kindyz Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hello Guys, I recently installed a new cable modem and wireless router. Now my mapped drives don't come up and I tried to use IP to login but it doesn't show up. I logged in to the router and it does not show up in devices. What should I try next? Thanks in advance, Oscar Link to comment
y2kindyz Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 I am only showing 3 wired connections. My computer, receiver and tivo. When I plug in the cable from tower to the router the network lights on the NIC card light up and it looks like there is activity, but nothing comes up on the router. Is there anyway to access the tower even though it does not show up on the network? Link to comment
RobJ Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Check your network settings, make sure you are configured to be on the same subnet. A new router may be configured differently than the last one, especially a problem if you were using static IP's. Link to comment
Squid Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Is there anyway to access the tower even though it does not show up on the network? Locally with a keyboard and monitor. With your old router, you probably had the server set to a static IP address, and the new router is using different subnets ie: 192.168.1.xxx instead of 192.168.2.xxx If you log in locally, you can edit /boot/config/network.cfg and change the IP to something more appropriate.

Squid Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Or, alternatively you can take the flash drive and plug it into your computer and modify the same file with Notepad++ Link to comment
y2kindyz Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Thanks Squid, that makes sense. I will try taking out the flash and making change to file Thanks again, Oscar Link to comment
y2kindyz Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Thank you Squid and Joe I was able to make changes to configure/network file with notepad. Change the IP and all is good. Thanks again and merry Christmas O Link to comment

Thanks again and merry Christmas O It may have worked in this instance, but you should generally avoid using notepad to edit unRAID system files. Notepad++ was the recommendation. Link to comment
