Alright guys, hopefully this is simple. I work for a restaurant that uses the Aloha POS system. The terminal were having issues with was working fine, then we unplugged it to move it to a different location. Now when the system starts, it gets stuck on "searching for file server". I verified the Ethernet ports work fine. One thing I couldn't find was ctlsrv service in task manager. This is just a terminal. Not the master terminal or file server. Fix has got to be simple right?

Trying to ping to terminal from BOH, and trying to ping BOH from terminal gives me destination host unreachable. I will receive packets though, but the amount is random. On the terminal itself, my wired connection will show unidentified network randomly. Ip address is correct.
