Amahi Forums

After about a minute has passed after connecting to the network, I cannot get to my HDA dash from my Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon laptop with http://hda. It works fine on all other devices but my Linux laptop. And only the local DNS doesn't work - I can still go to Google and all. So why is this happening? How can I troubleshoot this problem? It is frustrating to have to disable and re-enable my WiFi every time I want to access my server.

Sounds like a problem with your client not receiving it's DHCP lease from the HDA.

Recommend you check that the Linux machine has DHCP and DNS from the HDA.

DNS is my Amahi HDA.

So the Linux client reflects DHCP and DNS of the HDA.

If so then there should be no issue unless there is something on the client causing the problem.

I cannot figure out how to view the DHCP server address on my Linux machine. According to a terminal method I found to view DNS, my DNS server is 127.0.1.1, localhost, which obviously cannot be. According to the network info popup that I can view via my desktop, my DNS is the address of my HDA. I see nothing for address of DHCP server.

If it helps to know, there is no option to disable DHCP on my router except for putting it in complete bridge mode and disabling wireless. So, I used the workaround to set the available DHCP range for leasing to include only the reserved IP of my HDA, allowing my HDA to give out DHCP leases.

Using command line you can view IP address: Verify that matches what the HDA is handing out.

That does not show DNS or DHCP.

That works on most Linux clients. What was the output?

Also you can try:

Output of ifconfig:

Although it says Ethernet at top, it is the wlan0 interface. I don't see DNS or DHCP.

This appears to be your DHCP address. Is that from your HDA?

If not, then that is your issue.
