home domain has disappeared...

Hi all,

My Amahi was woking fine until yesterday, when I added another HDD. Everything seemed to be working fine after switching it on again, but other computers on my network suddenly stopped being able to see apps on my home domain. My laptop can see the hda dashboard, as can the hda itself, but while the hda can see the apps on it just fine, my laptop can't see any of them!

I ran through the interactive troubleshooter and I got:

Using the Network Troubleshooter, I failed step 8 - HDA Dashboard accessible?. Here's a paste to help troubleshoot: http://pastebin.com/kCaEZjiJ

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Sounds like the other clients are not getting their DHCP lease from the HDA. Have you tried release/renew the DHCP lease for them?

Also I presume you are using the HDA as your DHCP/DNS server.

I am using the hda as the DHCP/DNS server, yes. The setup dashboard shows the laptios IP address as having a hdcp lease.

How would I go about refreshing/resetting the lease?

If your client is Windows, go to command prompt on the client and enter:

Code: Select all

ipconfig/release ipconfig/renew

perfect! Thats sorted it.

Can I just say how awesome Amahi is. I have been truly amazed at how a £200 server and Amahi have completely changed the way I deal with my digital life. And the community is really brilliant. Where else could I get spon-on user support on a Sunday afternoon!
