My previous router went dead this morning. I am running my Node Red - server on a Raspberry pi, My server had a static ip-adress. Now my server do not show up in my router at all. I have backup to dropbox. What is the best way to get my Node Red server up running again?
If the server really did have a static IP address (one set in the server) then that address is still the same. So it should still be accessible to other devices on the internal LAN.
What might happen though is that your new router might use a different network segment.
For example, some routers might use 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 whereas others might use 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (zero instead of 1 in the 3rd number). If that has happened, your fixed IP address is no longer accessible from anything that has a dynamic address set by the router.
So check the IP address settings of your laptop/desktop or phone to see what address the router is giving out and compare that against the fixed address on the Pi.
There are a number of other address ranges your router could use for the LAN but those 2 are the most common.
The new one used 192.168.0.1 as the old one actually used 10.0.0.138, the Node Red server had 10.0.0.45, I have changed it so my new router have 10.0.0.1 and give dhcp from 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.150, but still cant find it.

I did another restart of my Node Red server, and ther it was. Have been struggling with home assistant for some hours so this just got my attention now. Thanks for your help.
