shazza6887 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hi All, I am sorry if this is covered elsewhere but here goes, i have upgraded Unriad to the latest version and all was fine until i reset my desktop from which i remote into unraid. I think there was a windows update or something. Anyway i now can't access Unraid anymore by typing in the server name into Mozilla. I can still access it by IP address and it still appears all fine under network tab. Please keep in mind i am pretty much a novice with netwroking terms etc so please be gentle... Cheers Link to comment

There are many potential fixes depending on exactly what has been enabled or disabled on your system. See the thread linked below and pay particular attention to page 2. For me the fix was enabling SMB 1.0/CIFS in Turn Windows features on or off. Link to comment

The solutions that have worked for others are in the discussion I linked in my first post. I no longer have any Windows 7 machines and most of these issue have been with Windows 10; however, many of the solutions listed are likely applicable to Windows 7 as well. Link to comment
shazza6887 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 When i edit that hosts file do i simply put Ip adress as i would type it in my browser then tab across and put the server name? I tried exactly like that and it was a no go also! Link to comment

Did you save hosts file as file type "all files" with no extension and reboot your Windows 7 machine after editing the hosts file? That fix may or may not work in your case, but, there are others in the thread. Unfortunately this issue has many causes and solutions. Link to comment

I will give it a go and report back. Link to comment

Any other suggestions to maybe try? I had a problem with Win7 that fits what you are describing. What I traced the problem to the fact that I was using Workgroups rather than Homegroups. (Believe that MS also make a change to Win7's workgroup properties/policies in one of their updates as they did with Win10.) Have not had an issue since I made the change. You can also open Windows Explorer. Navigate to your server using it IP address ( \\192.168.2.248 --- as an example) Then create a shortcut on your desktop or in a folder. Then you can just use the shortcut to get to your server. Link to comment
