Hello, Thank you for the replies and assistances. Both of you were helpful. I was able to get into finally by booting in my other unraid server machine that had NIC support and download the drivers. Thanks again.

Hello, Heh late night brain sleep got me. Okay figured out what you meant about the Plug-in. I was able to plug the USB stick into my trial machine and boot in. From there I was able to go to the Community App store and install the RTL8126 drivers. Once done i rebooted the OS and was able to log in again on the trial machine and confirmed the drivers were installed. Installed on the new machine and I am in. But I am still wondering if I hadn't had a second machine I could boot the USB stick into to get the drivers how would I be able to get them on it?

Hello. How would I go about adding a driver plug-in? Does this need to be in the flash drive? Is it just my NIC or is it all 5gig NICs not supported?

Hello, I have been running Unraid on an old PC I had to try it out and I am liking it. Decided to build a brand new PC dedicated to Unraid. I followed the steps I did before with the old PC. Got the same USB which is a Samsung Fit 64bit drive and put the OS on it via the USB Creator Tool. I set my static IP address and gateway like I did with the old PC and ran the tool to create the OS drive. Once that was done I put the USB stick in the new PC, powered it on and launched into the Unraid setup as I had done before. It got to the part where it was saying the name of the server and has the blinking icon and the chosen IP Address. I entered it on my main PC and no GUI appeared. I even tried it via name.local address and nothing. Thinking I did something wrong or that because this was a new PC I had just best leave it get its own IP Address. So ran it again thru the tool had it get its oh DHCP address and popped it into the new PC. This time I noticed it said no eth0 found and no IP Address found. Worried that Network Port maybe bad I installed Windows 10 and the network port works fine. Tried 3 different cables and no issues in Windows. I even updated the motherboard bios to the latest no beta version. Nothing I do can get the GUI to appear and for whatever reason Unraid seems, based on my understanding by looking in it it can't find my Network Port or NIC and that is why its giving me the ETH0 not found error. I doubt that the parts are so new that Unraid can't work on them. I've included the parts and the diagnostics file. I don't know where to look or even what I am looking for in the files that may give me an idea on how to fix it. I tired the option to enter the GUI via the local PC but it takes me to a black screen, not text and a blinking cursor at the top. I can't seem to type anything and nothing happens until I hit the power button then it activates the Power Down command. I also wonder if it makes a difference if the NIC is a 5gb? My old PC that I am using as the trial Unraid server has a 1 gig network port. Would that make any difference to Unraid when initially setting it up? Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am hoping someone can help. USB: Samsung USB 3.1 FIT Plus 64GB Motherboard: ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI Current BIOS: Version 1003 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core Processor.
