3 CE-devices but only 1 ssh/smb connection

Help & Support Hardware

Hi have multiple CoreELEC devices on the exact same network, but only one is reachable via SSH and SMB at one time.

Box 1-wifi, box 2-wifi & box 3-ethernet

For example if all 3 is on, then box 1 is ssh/smb access, box 2 & 3 do not. I have to turn off box 1 then either box 2 or 3 ssh/smb access. So only 1 box can gave ssh/smb access at any given time.

I have reset/reboot router & wifi. Deleted host.conf & .cache/conman on all 3. This never used to happened before, the only thing changed is box 1 on CE-NO.

All three CE devices can connect via SMB. You can try changing the hostname box1 box2 box3

Thanks, I did that also. The issue is all was working before. I think it maybe tailscale, since i installed tailscale this issue started so I’m currently trying with it off.

Still stuck tailscaled removed but problem is there. @YadaYada @Portisch any cmd & log to see the issue please, thanks.

Lol :laughing: it turns out to be something stupid as tailscale subnet! You have to disabled it otherwise it gives priority to one device at a time.

That’ll teach me to thoroughly read up on something instead of blindly following some random instructions on the Internet!
