Roon was originally running on Windows Core. Back-up created on USB-hard drive. After disconnecting the Windows Core in Roon it’s possible to choose ROCK as a core. Restoring of back-up from USB hard drive (connected directly to NUC) was also successful. After restoring of back-up a restart was necessary. Then I got re-directed to Log-In screen again. I entered my Log-In data but after waiting for 1min an error message appeared “network error: please check your internet connection”.
There is no message that my license needs to be transferred to ROCK or anything else.
I can access to ROCK on my Windows PC (\ROCK) as well on the browser by typing in the IP-address.
It’s odd. If I’m reading your post correctly, then you’ve:
created a new Roon Core on a ROCK/NUC
used Roon (running on Windows, I presume) to connect to the new Core
got the Login screen on the ROCK/NUC Core
used the link at the bottom of the screen to restore a Backup of your previous Core
rebooted the ROCK/NUC
you still see the Login screen…
That last step is the odd one - I would have expected that you would have got into your new Core (running the database and login credentials restored from the Backup) straightaway. You shouldn’t be seeing the Login screen for a second time.
I’m out of ideas. I’m afraid we’ll have to wait for Support or someone else to chime in.
exactly. I would also assume that I should be reconnected directly to Roon once the backup has been restored and don’t understand why I see the log-in screen again.
Let’s hope that support will find a solution next week. Thanks anyway for your effort and have a nice weekend.
I tried to change to Google DNS but now I can’t access Rock Web UI anymore.
The NUC says I can access it under http://8.8.8.8/ - but my Browser is not loading the Web UI.
Seems I had something wrong and safed. Is there a chance to reinstall ROCK on the NUC without having access to the Web UI?
If so, how can I properly set Static IP to Google DNS to check if I can change my Roon Core then?
I think what you have done in the Web Administration Page is to save the Google DNS address (8.8.8.8) into the IP address field of your ROCK, instead of into the DNS Server field.
Reset your network address using this Help article:
And, is there some reason why you want to have a static address in your ROCK? Best practice would be to use the DHCP server in your router, and reserve an IP address in your router for the ROCK/NUC.
I think @Geoff_Coupe is on the money, you’ve inadvertently set ROCKs IP address to 8.8.8.8…
Having reset the network settings per Geoffs link, open the web admin page and note the IP address, Netmask, and Gateway settings… Press the static tab, and re-enter these exactly. In the DNS server box, enter 8.8.8.8. Reboot. Don’t mess up the numbers, lol.
But Geoff is right, DHCP exists for a reason. Only leave it set like this if the DNS change is necessary.
