Confirmed that this worked, to summarize the problem and discovery in case anyone from the future lands here. 1. Attempted setup with MSI z890i Edge Mobo, ethernet would not detect due to Realtek support 2. Had to use a USB to Ethernet cable to complete setup 3. Setup system and installed RTL8126 PCI Drivers plugin from CA

I'll try this out -- confirmed I can access internet through terminal (still getting used to unraid UI) Thanks @trurl and @Veah -- will update this thread to confirm if this resolves the issue later

Not sure how you end up with a mobo that has a different NIC than advertised, will follow-up with MSI on that one. Am I out of luck trying to get the existing NIC to work?

I don't have another card, it is an itx board with Intel Killer E5000B 5G LAN (per specs_ Using a USB to ethernet, I was able to get an IP address. Any advice on getting Unraid to work with LAN port?

@trurl thanks for looking -- 1. network and ethernet cable coming into the box are working (tested on other devices) 2. it is a new motherboard. I'm getting LEDs on the port indicating connection, but not sure if there are issues with NIC or some compatibility issues with unraid

mham-nas-diagnostics-20241109-0227.zip Setting up unraid for the first time on a newly built machine, but I'm not getting IP addresses. I've searched a number of other discussion forums and can't seem to find a related issue. Looking for any guidance on what to troubleshoot next as I cannot find anything meaningful in the logs that stands out.
