Description of Issue

Hey, I’ve been using an Intel NUC running Windows (I needed the NUC also to run a VM), with ROON as a core. I don’t need VM anymore so I thought I’d set it up using ROCK. After I finished installing ROCK, and restarted it, it shows as if everything’s fine, and it shows me the network address I should go to to access the web UI, as you can see here:

However, it says “This site can’t be reached.” Also, ROON on my PC cannot locate my CORE either.

I’ve gone into my router’s settings and checked the list of connected the devices, which you can see here:

I remember that the 192.168.2.85 was my old Intel NUC when it had Windows on it, so I figured that that should be the ROCK, and disconnecting it, proved it since it would drop from the list. going to 192.168.2.85 also doesn’t provide me with the ROCK web UI.

I’ve tried moving the NUC up in the chain, and directly connecting it to my modem, but that doesn’t seem the help either. I’m not sure what to do now, so any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Leroy

I remember that the 192.168.2.85 was my old Intel NUC when it had Windows on it, so I figured that that should be the ROCK, and disconnecting it, proved it since it would drop from the list.

I’m not so sure though, looking up the associated MAC address shows it is registered to Samsung Electronics.
The IP address shown by ROCK is on a different network and can’t be reached from yours (192.168.2.0/24). I think you should try to reset the network configuration on ROCK:

Thanks, this helped. It gave out another IP address. However, it would swap back within 15 seconds, and then not work again. It took me a while to realize this because I swap the inputs back and forth on my monitor so I didn’t see the ROCK display all the time. But I set it up now to have a static IP, and now it works

Cheers
