I ended up removing the daughter card and using a standard PCIe NIC (Intel dual SFP+) and got her up and running again. IDK if the daughter card port is bad or what but four different cards in it would not work. Thank you for your assistance here.

Ok. So I...: ...installed one of the intel daughter cards, actually, they're all intel. I opted for the dual SFP+ card, booted up the server and disabled each setting (passthrough, and the physical port itself) pertaining to IDRAC and the associated integrated port, booted into unraid, noticed that ETH0 was "missing", resulting in IPV4 address being "not set". Renamed the network.cfg file to network.cfg.old and rebooted. Same result - IPV4 address not set. Pulled a diagnostic log (see attached). Any ideas here on what I should do next? Thanks again, Z tower-diagnostics-20240926-1828.zip

Which is odd, because when I performed the diagnostic via console this morning, the four-port 2x10GBE/2x1GBE NIC was/is definitely installed. Actually, that's interesting too. If Unraid was picking up the USB/IDRAC port, it was only showing three of the four ports on the other 3 NICs. Can unraid only pickup four ports total?

Well damn, I did disable it so I'm not sure why it's still trying to grab that as the primary NIC. It's actually disabled altogether, not just the passthrough... I'll confirm when I get home later.

Are you referring to the one for IDRAC? If so, that one has been disabled as I saw that as ETH0 in one of the .cfg files during my troubleshooting.

I will have to try that later when I get home from work. Should I remove the daughter card when I install the intel PCIE card?

I've tried: Two daughter cards of the same model (Dell card with 2xSFP+ & two GBE ports) One daughter card with two 10GBE ports & two GBE ports. One PCI intel card with two SFP+ ports. One daughter card with four GBE ports All five cards yield same result. Note that when I swapped cards, network-rules.cfg and network.cfg were deleted and server rebooted each time. Thanks.

Hello, I replaced a NIC in my server as the existing one appeared to have gone bad. Since doing so, I've been unable to connect to my server. I have tried the following: Deleted the network-rules.cfg and network.cfg files (multiple times) Tried 3 different NIC cards, including regular PCIE cards and daughter cards. Reinstalled unraid on the flash drive and copied over the backed up config folder. Place server on a different network/switch/dhcp server to confirm no issues that way. I have attached a diagnostic log so that hopefully you can offer some assistance here. Server is a Dell R720XD. TIA Z tower-diagnostics-20240926-0656.zip

Nothing in terms of network connectivity dropping or degraded?

Is there a more in-depth log that can be accomplished?

I would blame the parity check too however it's been happening daily for about two months now. It's not the parity check.

Plex would continue to stop playback with a message stating that the connection to the server is not fast enough. Happens via wired connection and wifi to AppleTV. Server has two 10gbe ports bonded, I've tried disconnecting one or the other, looking for a bad cable and or port. I have noticed that when the error populates, I have a hard time loading Unraid GUI on my phone and laptop. So it appears to be connection related. Unifi shows all of my connections as being healthy so I'm at a loss here. Thanks.

Last night between 7 and 10pm.

tower-diagnostics-20240905-0908.zip I finally got it to complete a diagnostics log. Any help is appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to figure out why my connection seems to drop intermittently at random times. I've experienced various issues during the times at which our movie playback stops (Plex), including docker apps seeming to not be running (docker possibly crashing?) and other times the UI takes a minute or two to load. Network seems to be fine however maybe those of you who are handy with the diagnostics logs can assist in with determining what is going on with this box. I'll upload as soon as it becomes available. TIA, Z
