So I have an interesting case. I recently created a new set-up. I have TWC and have an Arris cable modem/router where the TWC line goes into. This is connected via cable to my dd-wrt wifi router. The dd-wrt wifi router has an output port going to a switch. My unRAID box is connected to that switch.

 

Everything was working fine, except for plex outside the network. Seemed to be a double NAT issue, so I set the Arris modem into bridge mode (firewall off, disable dhcp, wifi off, and bridge mode set).  Now everything works as before except I can't access my unRAID box directly, but can access the subfeatures.

 

To explain further, let's say my unRAID box IP is 192.168.1.122

 

If I try that IP in my browser, i get a 'This webpage is not available (ERR CONNECTION RESET)' (in chrome)

However, if I try 192.168.1.122:8080, I get unMENU, and can access everything EXCEPT the 'unRAID Main' tab

If I try 192.168.1.122:32400/web, I get the Plex menu and can access everything and it works fine

 

I can also telnet into the box.

 

So...why can't I get the main menu anymore? 

 

As a side note, if I look at my dd-wrt router, I see an active client with the 192.168.1.122 IP, however where it used to say 'NAS' it now says '*'

 

Any advise would be appreciated (preferably not 'upgrade to 6'...I have that planned but not for another couple months until the holiday break)

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

[edit]: so I turned off the array through unMENU and then restarted the box. All works fine now...weird.

Sounds like emhttp wasn't running for some reason, possibly OOMed. See v5 help in my sig to get a syslog to post if it happens again.
