With the other router that works, /etc/fstab sees the SMB server as 192.168.2.8 and the NFS as 192.168.2.128 and yes I know the new router as 192.168.50.1. However each server is a separate computer which require ip's. I normally deal with problems via ssh. With this router I thought the SMB would get a new 50.something address but I've been able to identify a dozen that it does show but not the smb box. I will have to add a display and keyboard to see what is happening unless there is some other way to do it, that may have to wait until tomorrow since I need some assistance mating cables. It is sometimes difficult to make recommendations as to addressing without knowing the topology as well as the goals. What is the purpose of the new ASUS router? Is it just to hook the 4TB drive to it and act as a Samba Server on the network? FWIW, I got the impression from the other thread that the ASUS router was going to replace the existing one as the gateway to the Internet connection since the ASUS has features to do traffic reporting. You don't happen to have a network diagram? And, BTW, the .50.1 address of the ASUS is simply the Factory Default and can be changed. > > "I suggested you use 192.168.0.0/16 for the address spec.

If so I will change that since it appears it may eliminate future problems such as I just had. Connection beyond the LAN is normally blocked and the immediate family does not present a security problem, in fact need to be able to get into my computers if necessary. > Well, if you have multiple subnets of a network and you need to export to hosts on those subnets then yes that is the change that could make things easier -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
