Al_Borges Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Question for the Network Guru's in the group My NAS Box shows up twice when I browse the "network" on my windows 7 machine. One shows up as "STORA" and the other is "STORA2" Both seem to work and they both point to the same device. Doesn't seem to bother anything but the OCD part of me is not leaving this alone any quick suggestions on what is happening ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I've seen this before even on Windows clients that are accessing a Windows server. It usually goes away after reboots in those cases; not sure about yours. Don't know what's happening but I suspect it's the universe's way of getting you to deal with your OCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I was initially thinking cached DNS entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 could be. Not sure why they'd be duped in the cache though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Try rebooting the router or whatever is handling DHCP/DNS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Reboot the systems; now why didn't I think of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Borges Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Rebooting the router by itself didn't fix it But this sequence did , based on your collective suggestions 1 shut the NAS down 2 flush DNS on both affected clients, then shutdown Reboot the router Startup the client machines Startup the NAS Now the voices in my head can switch to a different topic Thanks to all for the suggestions. Did not know about flushdns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
