M1 keeps trying to connect to an old local ip x.x.x.70 changed to x.x.x.170 more than a year ago.

There was a problem connecting to the server “10.x.x.70”

A long time ago I changed the ip for one of my nas to a static ip of 10.x.x.170 from earlier ip of 10.x.x.70. It was a result of that I decided to reserve the range 10.x.x.1 to 10.x.x.99 to be served by my DHCP and 10.x.x.100 to 10.x.x.250 to be set static manually. All went well, the change had worked as plan but shortly after randomly the screen in image above now and then popup. After a restart of the M1 the screen will popup in 99 out of 100 and sometimes when I click "OK" it will reappear after 1 to 10 minutes and sometimes it doesn't reappear until after next restart.

I guess it's called somewhere hidden but I haven't managed to find out where.

Any help appreciated!

Go to System Preferences, Users and Groups.

Select the account you have been logging in to. Check the Login Items tab, if you see the unwanted server there, select it and delete it with the minus sign "-".

Verify that your router's configuration has been updated to reflect the new IP address for the M1. Some routers have settings that allow you to assign specific IP addresses to devices based on MAC addresses. If the M1 is part of a larger network configuration (such as a server setup), ensure that the device settings are correctly updated with the new IP address. If your network configuration has changed significantly, check whether there have been any changes in network segments, subnet masks, or routing that might be causing the M1 to attempt to connect to the old IP address....
