JoinFS and changing IP number
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2022 6:09 am
Greeting,
I would have written earlier but wanted more symptoms to become apparent... I use JoinFS on 2 PC's, one is used as a server hub for JoinFS, the other as a day to day / games PC with JoinFS, both on the same network. Both softwares work fine until there is a change of IP number at my end (I have a dynamic IP address).
When there is a change of IP number JoinFS on the server hub shows offline and no-one can connect to it, not even me. The only way I can resolve this is to first reset the server hub PC and restart JoinFS, I then have to do the same with the normal PC. Only once I have reset both machines can others join my network, myself included. I think what is happening is that JoinFS is 'seeing' the change of IP number but that it does not match the IP number that the software was first started with.
In future I shall have to monitor the IP number for changes but unless I spot a number change this will be an ongoing problem.
