box invisible on network

[cactikid]

Having an issue with box not seen on network even with nfs and samba running,rebooted and powered off/on.

Every box setup mounts are done when seen but for some reason it does not find it under network scan

With this new image and now password needed could that be blocking it

I dont use passwords when mounting hdds.

Just to add other boxes also dont see the et.

Have you gone into the ET settings and ran a network test?

You don't PW for network discovery but will do to share HDD and other features via remote access

Yes all in the green as just rechecked and no logs as of yet to show anything.

I've always done it with just SAMBA and no NFS (NFS not installed).

If you're trying to browse the box from Windows see if you can do it just by IP address, put something like:

\\192.168.1.42\Harddisk\

in to the address bar at the top of an explorer window and press enter. (but use the IP address of your box on the LAN)
If it asks for a password I usually give it root and my password but, as I understand it, you probably don't need to if you only want read access.

same IP range ? Same workgroup ?

No pc or laptop used just e2 boxes to access hdd on et10000.

Even the et10000 itself cannot find itself with a network browser scan which it did before on older image that went slow with errors.

Only thing has changed is the latest image is in use now and boxes still in same place as before.

I am pretty sure you will need to set passwords

[cactikid]

I used a password on filezilla to gain access to box,but et10000 does not see itself on a network scan which is very odd,thinking its new image related?

On laptop i ran a webif control of a network browse and no et10000

Set password on box.

Password is on box and retried a rescan and still not seen and box has been rebooted as just checked.

I did find new logs as might be of use?

I had an issue last week where after a settings restore (which restored password) I couldn‘t access the box - changed password to same as before and everything ran OK. If you haven‘t reset password worth trying.

Try setting password through telnet.

I had issue where box was seen on network but could not access it with the remote set on the box, telneted and setup password, FileZilla connected.

Think it would be strange for network discovery to be disabled if no password set but logic would make sense from a security perspective.

I dont access network from outside like some do,this was a fresh flash and setup from scratch and had to add a password to use filezilla.

I also changed it again as i can login to box and use remote so i think telnet might not be of use.

My box is invisible on network and only access to hdd is in bedroom as where box is situated.

Would network discovery be shown in logs?

My 2 boxes can see themselves using network browser, but both then insist on a password being set first (via the browser).

The password was already set on both in the browser, but needed saving again (has been mentioned before).

What is odd/wrong is that the browser and mount_manager/user_management had different usernames set, the browser (I think?) was still username (and worked!), the other was root.

I'm wondering if accessing the boxes from a pc first (using \\ip address) is needed to kick start network browsing. Just a thought.

But i can use webif to log into box and control it via laptop,and saved using green button
Hence why i think might be a bug?
