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

+
+## 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.
