No, i haven't actually.How am I going to access the VMs directly? Should be via RDC? I may have the same problem

AMD Ryzen 5 5500U The setup in on wired gigabit lan (except when I log in from outside of home).

I wouldn't say it is a server machine in terms of specs. It is a mini PC (AMD, 16GB mem, 2TB SSD) that I use as a file server. I will do the system health check as you propose. It may help. SMART shows very good health on all drives. The PC is new; probably 4-5 months old. Haven't tried a...

No, VMWare Yes, but couldn't find anything relevant I RDC directly to the server, not to the VMS

Hi, At home, I've got an AMD with 16GB memory that acts as my file server and hosts some VMs. It runs Windows 11. Then, I use my laptop to connect to it via remote desktop connection when I want to use the VMs. The files are accessed via networked drives. I also use ZeroTier. When I access...

How are raw values being reported? As HEX? Yeah, I think the drive reached its life span. Gone now

I've replaced the drive now. Macrium rocks ;) Thanks for the replies.

Good idea but I couldn't find anything in their website. I also run wmic diskdrive get status and is says: Pred Fail I think my SSD is dying....:(

Hi, Thanks for the answers. Yes, I have three backups already. I am not worried about this. This is what I see in Crystal.

Hi, I've got an SSD drive in my laptop which is the windows drive as well. When I run CrystalDiskInfo, it shows that the drive's health is Bad (0%) and flags up "critical warning". HWiNFO64 also reports "drive failure". However, disk management shows the drive and the partitions as healthy...

ZeroTier seems to work fine. What I do not like is that it needs installation as an admin. I wanted to install it on my work laptop but I understand. There is something that confuses me. After reading the documentation, I understand that zerotier creates a virtual encrypted VPN. That's the...

Yes, you are right. pinging no-ip returns the IP of protonvpn which is correct. Following socK 's comment, I removed the port forwarding rule from the router. I will give ZeroTier a go. Thanks

*** UPDATE **** Oh, I forgot to mention that the PC that acts as a server in my setup runs ProtonVPN I think this is an important detail but as said it worked a couple of times.

Yes, I've read a lot about attached on the default RDP port. But, as explained, 3389 is not open at all. Do you think this is still a problem? I tried setting up a VPN but I found it really cumbersome. I tried OpenVPN. I will check Zero-Tier, as grim4593 suggests although I do not know what it...

If I ping no-ip name or check the IP, it returns no-ip's ip address not my router's.
