Glad you got it sorted. I know what it is like when something is not working, and you can't figure out why.
you got a server, then?


I have a NAS, but it don't do IPv6, I suppose there is no need to.

Yeah, all working. I've run a mail server for many years now. It allows me to operate an effective Disposable Email Address system to avoid spam. There's no real need to have it visible on IPv6. I just feel that since I chose my ISP many years ago because they offered it I should fully utilise it.

I think what tripped me up this time was Windows Update pratting about. Resetting the network profile to Public is a known issue (and it happened under previous Windows as well - my server is running on Win10) but I don't think I've ever known it clear out the default gateway. It's possible though that the update occurred while I was transferring over to the new router so perhaps it was the result of the new gateway not being contactable during the update?

Ah, I see, I used to muck around with things like that years ago, but now just like the simple life, of plug and pray, I mean play

I was thinking of setting up another NAS, using a mini computer, but not sure if it is really worth it.

Well worth looking at a mini PC/NAS. I was given a bunch of Lenovo M93p Mini machines (and laptops I fettle and give away) and my 17 year old grandson nabbed one and put together a modest NAS to take with him when he leaves the nest for university; works very well.
