comet424 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) so how you fix it? so this tool it to scan for local network for unraid? and why doesnt it pick up my OpenVPN connection to that network of 192.168.1.x thats where i have 2 unraids on there too.. as i dont know why it picked up a 192.168.56.1 i cant find this computer i been unplugging things and the desktop-qt00 thats my desktop computer i ran the the program from.. your guess is good as mine why no mac address.. so if i only should have 1 master what do i do to fix it? if i do \\192.168.56.1 it connects but shows no files still cant find where that computer is or \\tower why its giving me a smb share when the array is turned off .. and i can add files to it too lol ugh i think there is ghosts in this network and is local master only a unraid/windows thing as i have never heard of local master smb over the 20 yrs i used windows i only learned about it now from what you mentioned and to make 1 master.. do i do what you mentioend years ago unplug everything have a cup of coffee then slowly plug things in?

Frank1940 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I am at a loss as to where to go from here. I do not use pfsense. I do not use a VPN. I have never seen another system with two Local Masters in the same Workgroup let alone THREE. (You can try the total shutdown and restart. It might help...) You should be looking at what is on the other end of the VPN as I don't think that LanScanner is designed to look at that. Be sure that you don't have another server/computer out there somewhere named 'tower'. There have been a 190 views of this thread so far and no one else has elected to chime in with some thoughts. You appear to be in a "Twilight Zone" with a most unusual problem. You might have to go back to a basic system with no VPN and pfsense using just a basic router/switch setup and rebuild in small steps. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 ya strange pfsense just a more powerful router then asus ya i did a shut down for 10 min minus the backup server.. the vpn i disabled so it doesnt connect to the other Pfsense router.. so it wasnt there i think the 56.1 is a computer heres the kicker i unplugged the 192.168.0.3 (tower) and i can still do \\tower get the Desktop files but here is the kicker i only have 4 unraid servers and 3 of them are my my local network other is on a remote location behind the vpn now i cant ping tower as its unplugged but i can still do \\tower in the file explorer and write files and have no idea where its writting too.. update... i tried my windows 7 laptop file explorer shows Tower but i cant access it... even though its unplugged... Im guessing the Local master of my backupserver keeps that name and thats why my laptop sees it even though the servers not there.. but my desktop computer the 192.168.0.47 sees tower and i can save files.. its like \\tower location is saving directly to my Desktop computer.. i gotta do another power down switchs modem router computers and let is be powered down 15 20 min.. i appreciate the help guess i got gremlins in there causing crap ill keep fiddiling if i ever find a resolution ill post it..

comet424 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 so i solved it... i fiddled and fiddled etc.. i havent resolved Local Master but Tower says Local Master is Tower Backupserver says Local Master is Backupserver Mitchflix says Local Master is backupserver but i fixed the issue on the desktop \\tower showing files that werent there.. and a Sync Pending so after playing around.. what i ended up doing was Stopping Array.. in Settings Network.. i set DHCP not static and i set in my router to put the IP address to the Mac Addy.. so it be the same.. so after setting to DHCP i saved and rebooted.. once back up it worked \\tower was able to access files tower/ started to work. so i retried.. other way again.. I removed the Static setting for the MAC addy of Tower in my Router I stopped sunraid array.. I went to settings/network i re changed automatic to Static.. so it be 192.168.9.3 ip and gateway and dns 192.168.0.1 i saved rebooted and array started it still worked \\tower also the \\tower single was gone.. the Sync Pending was gone.. its a built in Windows 10 File syncing program.. so that solved it i decided to shut everything down to make sure... and left it off for a while.. i booted back up and \\tower still works across the board and so does tower/ i not sure what maybe went wrong in network settings but if i had know that would been a simple thing to test right away and wouldnt happened to trouble shoot for days... just a simple turn on and off the Static/automatic for an IP address go figure.. maybe something went funny with the last update of unraid when it was updating i do not know as it only affected this one out of my others.. but i appreciate the help.. and least its up and running again sorry for being a bother and such.. and i appreciate all the help and testing.. still dont know why i got 3 Local masters but its still there lol Quote Link to comment
