Yep, I’m a bit puzzled about it. I’ve a shared folder in a Windows 10 machine. If I reboot OSMC and i try to access the shared folder it says: ‘No route to host’. However, if I go to my Windows 10 machine, I open a SSH session, then I close it and I retry the connection it works. wtf? Maybe it isn’t related to OSMC, but could someone know what’s going on with this?
Thanks, best regards.
Well without logs and also more details how you access your SMB shares, not really
Sounds like a firewall or networking issue. Do the OSMC device (Pi, Vero, …?) and the Windows 10 machine get told their IP, DNS, and gateway by a DHCP?
Did you specify a host name or an IP in /etc/fstab? Or do you do use userland-based mounting?
If you’re unsure about answering, please upload a log.
Well, the log doesn’t throw much info:

The smb URL I use, as you can see, is with the complete local IP of the PC. Both windows and Raspberry Pi have been setup with an static IP address.
Well A full logs including dmesg and journal would most likely tell us more.
Alternatively you might want to try autofs instead of the build in smb client
I’ve just found out that just pinging from my windows PC to OSMC is also a valid workarroud
