It sounds to me like the "internet switch", which everything is connected to except the PC could be a wireless router which is setup as a router on a different subnet than the router which the desktop is connected to. Further information about the hardware could help solve the issue. Which...

You could delay the start of UMS so it loads after your mapping scripts.
This would not be done in UMS but in windows.

Another thought. I have a similar situation with my ISP and their router (fiber connection). I had the ISP put their router in bridged mode (so it is just operating like a modem) and then everything else (routing, port forwarding etc), is done by my own router. Perhaps your ISP would be willing to d...

I think it is possible but the first hurdle would be to access the startup file from Windows.
Most likely you would need to have samba running on your Linux server and setup a share.

Is there a reason why you cannot have the "internet router" performing DHCP services and have the other 2 routers connected to the "internet router" with fixed IP's (on the same subnet) and have DHCP turned off on these other 2 routers. EG: 192.168.0.1 - Internet router with DHCP...

Can I ask why you want 2 routers on the same network.
A few months ago someone else was trying to do the same as you but went with another solution.

Perhaps my startup and shutdown script may be of some help.

The main reason I like to use my system java is because I do any updates on my server once a week.
Java with UMS is V17.0.5 and my system java is V17.0.6.

It's not a big deal but sometimes the java version included with UMS can be quite a bit older.

And btw - why aren't we using config file that lies near thew executabale files ? Why main cionfig that is used is at program data ? It is the way it is normally done in Windows. The executables are in "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" and the config files are in: "u...

A better way to do this is to just move the jre17 directory out of the way :

Either way has the same end result.
I prefer to modify UMS.sh to prevent UMS even checking for the UMS java version in the first place.
