# 2026-06-26 — Wolkin: Julie "SMB isn't working" — FRONT ZeroTier adapter was disabled

## Summary
Julie (RSW-Laptop, remote worker) reported SMB to FRONT not working. **Root cause: FRONT's
ZeroTier network adapter was administratively Disabled** — even though the ZeroTier *service*
was ONLINE and `listnetworks` showed the Wolkin network OK with `10.147.19.199/24` assigned.
A disabled adapter = no IP plumbed onto the interface = FRONT unreachable over ZeroTier = all
remote SMB/print down (in-office machines unaffected, so easy to miss).

Almost certainly disabled during the **2026-06-25** in-office scanner/static-IP work, where the
ZeroTier IP `10.147.19.199` was the name-resolution confounder (laptop hosts override
`10.147.19.199 FRONT` pinning "front" to the ZT IP) — disabled to take it out of play and not
re-enabled. The disable itself was not logged verbatim 2026-06-25.

## Diagnosis (via GuruRMM, FRONT = `877d311a-4b24-462c-97b1-d2a0f7730a71`)
- RSW-Laptop offline in RMM (no check-in ~2.5h) at start; came back online mid-session.
- FRONT SMB server healthy: `LanmanServer` running, 445 listening, shares present
  (ClientFiles/Forms/Pleadings/Scans/Sharp). LAN IP `192.168.1.153` (static, set 2026-06-25).
- FRONT had **no `10.147.19.199`**; `Get-NetAdapter` showed `ZeroTier One [17d709436c834c9b]` =
  **Disabled**. ZT service ONLINE; `listnetworks` = `OK PRIVATE ... 10.147.19.199/24`.
- FRONT could NOT ping `10.147.19.54` (Julie) over ZT (ICMP — reliable, not the error-67 artifact).

## Fix
- `Enable-NetAdapter -InterfaceDescription "ZeroTier Virtual Port" -Confirm:$false`
  (adapter name `ZeroTier One [..]` has `[ ]` PS wildcards — target by `-InterfaceDescription`).
- Verified: adapter **Up**, `10.147.19.199` restored, FRONT pings Julie's laptop (`10.147.19.54`)
  = True. RSW-Laptop back online in RMM.
- Did NOT use RMM `net use`/`net view` to judge SMB (documented false error-67 artifact against
  FRONT) — plumbing confirmed via adapter state + ICMP. Julie to test her mapped drive; stale
  red-X mappings clear with disconnect/reconnect or sign out/in.

## Files changed
- `wiki/clients/wolkin.md` — CRITICAL "ZeroTier required for Julie" callout (Infrastructure),
  Patterns & Known Issues entry, History Highlights line, frontmatter `last_compiled: 2026-06-26`.

## Follow-ups
- (Optional) pull FRONT System event log to confirm when/who disabled the adapter, if recurrence
  is a concern.
- Still open from before: rotate `front\julie` (`clients/wolkin/front-julie.sops.yaml`); DHCP
  reservation for FRONT on the Verizon Fios router.
