December 16, 201510 yr Hi guys, Well, it seems I'm having a nightmare trying to solve this one. Tonight I moved my unRAID server to another location in the house (to prevent my 1 year old son using it as a climbing frame). The setup is an R8000 as the main router with a R7000 connected as wireless bridge. The issue I'm having is that since the move I'm unable to see the unRAID shares automatically on our Macbooks. I can connect via AFP / SMB directly, so it appears to be an announcement / discovery issue? I've realised that toggling export on and off seems to solve it (it doesn't seem to matter which share is toggled), this causes BOTH AFP / SMB shares to appear immediately... It's an odd one, and extremely frustrating as time machine refuses to find the drive when resumed from sleep etc unless I toggle a share.
December 17, 201510 yr Author I spent the night testing various things and when the server is behind the wireless bridge I cannot get it to announce itself correctly. Toggling a share solves it - but this really isn't a viable solution. I guess worst case I can sacrifice my server and move it back to it's original location :-(
December 17, 201510 yr Author In case it helps anyone out with a similar issue, I fixed the issue by enabling IGMP proxying on my router. On my Netgear R8000 it is under advanced, WAN setup...
