January 2, 20179 yr Hoping for a little help. Had unraid for around 5 years or so painfree other than a couple of disk replacements. However that streak appears to have ended now. Had a brief power failure earlier today and now my unraid box is playing hard to get. I can log into console on the box, and I can ping the machine from the mac mini that serves as my HTPC, but I can not access the webgui, and I cannot access the server. Tower shows in the network folder on the mac mini but when I attempt to access it I get the error message that "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Tower'. This file server will not allow any additional users to log on. Try to connect agan later." I have attached the diagnostics file as I am running 6.2.4. I have no idea what to try next other than possibly my flash drive has gone bad..... tower-diagnostics-20170101-1859.zip
January 2, 20179 yr Author not using the mac mini or the macbook. However have since found that I can access the webgui with a win10 laptop, but it does not want to resolve "tower" and "tower" does not show up in networks. I have to use "\\tower" in an explorer window to get at the shares and disks. Bizarre. So it may not necessarily be an unraid issue but it may still be? Sigh.
January 2, 20179 yr I started having the same sort of issue too, but cannot access via WebIP from any device at this time (android, windows, or linux). If I reboot I can get in for a moment then is stops again.
January 2, 20179 yr Author Sigh. 6 hours beating my head in. Posting the answer for others to know how the issue was resolved. My unraid box is set to fixed ip address and my HTPC mac mini is set to DHCP. Somehow today, the mac mini got it fixed firmly in its head that it wanted the same IP address as the unraid box and once it got it, it had no intention of letting it go. I rebooted the mac mini at least a dozen times throughout the course of the day and the unraid box 6 or 7 times, and the mac mini never once gave up that IP address. Now I have set the mac mini to DHCP with fixed IP address that is NOT the same as the unraid box, and all is hunky dory again. Double sigh.
January 2, 20179 yr Community Expert I set all my devices including unRAID to DHCP then have my router reserve an IP for each MAC address. Everything managed in one place, the router.
