Jenkies Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) I have changed the name of the server via Identification on the webGUI and in the config file on the flash. Yet i am still seeing Tower on my device list as well as still being able to connect to the server via http;//tower.. I absolutely do not want this, I would prefer the device list to show the actual hostname, and only be able to access the tower via hostname that was set I do not want this, is this a defect or am I missing something?

Jenkies Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 to further this, i have restarted the router and cleared the device list to ensure it repopulates with the most recent devices Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Did you also reboot unraid? Quote Link to comment
Jenkies Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Yes unraid has been rebooted multiple times as I have been working with it. Always cleared device list and restart router before powering unraid box back up Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It is sufficient to change the name from the GUI. What config file did you change manually? Quote Link to comment
Jenkies Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) once i changed within the webui, i didnt actually have to change it. but it was the \flash\config\ident.cfg. netstat from within the server is showing alot of http://tower as well. no idea how to read that. mostly http://tower and one or two http://myhostname feel free to PM me with any suggestions or whatever. this has me completely boggled, about to format the flash drive and reinstall. Not sure if i'll lose all my docker settings and stuff tho Edited May 22, 2017 by Jenkies Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Can you install the "Dynamix Local Master" plugin, see here and verify which system is your local master, this is the system which keeps record of the names. Quote Link to comment
Jenkies Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 JENKINSUNRAID is current local master browser Quote Link to comment
Jenkies Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) pasted straight from the SMB config page in the gui Edited May 22, 2017 by Jenkies Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 JENKINSUNRAID is the new name of your server? Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Are all your devices in the same workgroup (see SMB settings)? Quote Link to comment
Jenkies Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 I'll have to check. I'm sure they are all left default Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Can you also check the file /etc/hosts, it should contain the new name. Quote Link to comment
Jenkies Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 On the unraid box? Quote Link to comment
