Thanks for replying But I've already installed WHS trail on that PC, and will try out flexraid later on. Thanks for helping, everyone. I'll be back!

^lionelhutz, will try that tonight. Really hoping this works.

I'm reading up on flexraid now. I'm thinking of using it on top of WHS. Shouldn't have any hardware issues since its windows...

No, I installed the lan card, disabled the onboard, and booted into unraid. Then ifconfig did not show the eth0 details. BTW, that lan card works fine in windows. Its a realtek 8168c. The mobo is an intel dg965.

I connected thru the router, and booted into windows on both machines. The lan port on the unraid PC is working fine. Why is unraid not working? And how do I try out a lan card? I tried disabling the onboard nic in bios, hoping unraid would pick up the lan card, but ifconfig did not show the eth entry.

I tried with 4.5b as well, with the same results. If my lan port is not working with unraid, will using a router help?

I'm facing similar problems. Hope we both find a solution soon.

Here's the output from 'netstat -nr' KERNEL IP ROUTING TABLE Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt IFace 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 0 Is this bad? I got a spare lan card, can I use that in the unraid box? It says realtek 8168C(P)/8111C(P). Will it work with unraid?

ohh, where were you earlier! Will check all this now. But i do hope my router purchase isn't a waste.

Bought a linksys router. Gigabit was really expensive, so will settle for 10/100 now. i.e. if it works

I'll try this out as well... Didn't work. Getting "destination host unreachable" when pinging from unraid, and "Request timed out" when pinging from windows.

I'll try this out as well...

I guess I will have to shell out for a router. But gigabit routers don't come cheap

Will you be connecting directly? Do let me know how that goes. I'm having no luck as you can read here - http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4225.0

Didn't work with the crosscable Now i'm installing win7 on the unraid box. Will get networking working first. Edit: Ok, installed win7 on the unraid box. Now if I set both machines to set network settings automatically, they can see each other in the network. But when I set the ip addresses manually, I can't see or ping one PC from the other. So I'm thinking this is basically a problem with how win7 handles networking. What do I do now? I certainly want to keep win7 on my main PC, so I think think buying a router and trying with dhcp is the only option left.
