I have read a number of posts on this topic, so I went into my router's network map to see what I could learn. I discovered that my RPi, which is connected by ethernet cable, has two different IP addresses. Could this cause it not to show up as a network share?

One of the IP addresses is a fixed address that I set in order to use the Pi as a Plex server. The Plex server function is working fine. Can I delete the other IP address, without messing things up? How do I do that? I'm obviously over my head when it comes to network administration. Thanks for any light you can shed on this problem.

Without knowing your network setup, I'll make some assumptions.

Assumptions you're using a : 1. consumer router with DHCP enabled, so it'll be assigning IPs to your devices on your network. 2. good cable.

Remove your static IP setup (enable it again later if you must), to ensure that you're configured properly. Allow the OS, to obtain it's own IP.

Once you're setup, and able to access the network, then start assigning static IPs.
