[[SOLVED] IP Address Not Set]

I eventually got to success by attempting starting with a totally new flash drive. By totally new, I mean I got flash drive, formatted it and then installed a demo version of the UnRaid. Much to my surprise, it worked immediately with the new hardware. 

After a bit more exploration I discovered that my old flashdrive was running an older version of UnRaid. Once I updated it to a newer version, everything ran just fine.

To any future readers, Please learn from my failure, just update the UnRaid OS.

Thanks to everyone that tried to help out. I tried many other flash drive to finally find one that works. 2 out of 11 flash drives worked. I could've stopped after the first one worked, but was curious so I tested all I had access to.  None of the Unraid recommended ones worked on my new build. All of them worked on my on my off-the-shelf Dell Inspiron.

 

What I've learned is that even if a drive boots on one computer, that it won't necessarily work in others.

 

If a mod wouldn't mind tagging this as resolved, that'd be great!

Hey @DeltaAlphaOscar, Would you mind sharing which brands of USB worked for your system??

I'm having a very similar issue, and I if could increase my chances to more than 2 out of 11, that would be swell. I know that every system is different, and what works for yours might not work for mine.
