Cannot access WebGUI or CIFS shares but Plex server and Transmission server still up

[dorifutoboi]

Hey all,

My FreeNAS box has been up for almost a year and a half now and today I noticed that I cannot connect to the WebGUI and also noticed that my mapped drives in Windows is offline and I cannot connect to them anymore. However my Plex server and Transmission servers are still up. I have already powered off the box and powered back on. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can check ?

Really appreciate your time,
David

Hey guys, I plugged a head into my server and it showed that the IP number changed. I was always under the assumption that I had set a static IP on the server but I guess I may not have if the IP changed. Anyways I set a new static IP and everything is back to normal.

In the future, there are apps on the cell phones which will help you out in a spot like this. The one I like is called "Fing" (Android). While you're on wi-fi, it'll scan the whole network, tell you exactly what's on what IP address, etc.

I just looked and found Fing for iOs. Does exactly what you suggest above, and fast. Thx!
