Hey all,
So I just encountered a strange issue.
Today i tried to access my NAS I made using an RPi 3B and a hard drive. It worked just about flawlessly once i got the SMB setup and all that.
Today I tried getting into it again and something odd has occurred.
Its acting like its not even connecting to the router, and just a moment ago it wasnt connecting at all. I was using a Static for the duration of everything.
Now at some point we did have a power outage if that helps anything (yes its on a surge), but I cant say anything else has occurred to the device since then and its been turned on and off a few times.
My problem is that I'm pretty weak in terms of how to run a Debian CLI and typically just use GUIs. However: The Web GUI isnt even loading. No device can connect to this NAS. I swapped out the cable and its not that. The Router seems fine as far as I can tell and no major changes have been made to it recently.
Thats whats odd: Nothing seems to have changed between when it last worked and now other than a few power cycles occurring.
I managed to find a way to switch it back to DHCP, that allowed me to find it in my routers Client Table again. However i still cannot access it through the WebGui
other things that seem notable is in the initial bootup process there's a 90s delay occurring that has "a start job started by dev-disk-by.." etc etc that wasnt present before.
Also: I tried to do a simple "ping 192.169.1.1" now I'm not sure if its as simple as that like in windows but when I do attempt it I just get a "Connect: Network is unreachable" as a return.
I'm completely stumped, any help would be appreciated to get this little NAS back online.
