Help with PiCore and vortexbox and touch setup....recently moved and forgot how

[bb1959]

Help! I have PiCore with Touch and vortexbox (for storage). I recently moved and have new internet and don't know where to start...How do I access everything again?

Where is your LMS running? On the RPi or on the Vortexbox?

On the r pi

Hopefully, it will be this easy:

* Wire the RPi and the Vortexbox to your router.
* Power on the Vortexbox.
* Power on the RPi.
* Go into your router settings and reserve a static IP for the RPi.
* Using a browser, go to that IP and navigate to the "LMS" tab.
* Scroll down to the “Setup Network Disk Mount” section; hopefully your old network point still works.
* Power up your Touch and press and hold the "Reset" button above the power input jack. Release when "Factory Settings Restored" message appears. This should run the initial setup where you select your network and server.

Just curious, why are you running LMS on an RPi when Vortexbox already is an LMS instance?

How do I reserve a static IP for the RPI?

Every router is different. What make/model do you have?

You can skip this step for now.

Xfinity Gateway

I don't know what ip address to enter in order to navigate to the lms tab

[Apesbrain]

Comcast provides several different devices as gateways. Do you see a model number on the unit?

Alternatively, install an IP scanner and find your RPi that way:
