I've just started on a journey to set up unRAID for my Plex server but I'm running into issues getting it going. I created the USB Boot Drive with unRAID's tool without issue, plugged it in, turned it on, and after running through some terminal stuff, I see:
Unraid Server OS version: 7.0.1
IPv4 address: not set
IPv6 address: not set
Media login:
Here are some troubleshooting steps I've tried:
Booted to a Windows drive on the same machine and was able to connect to the internet, so I presume my router/cable/NIC are good
In the network.cfg file I set bonding = "no" which resulted in getting a 168.* ip address, which didn't work and I believe is just a generic IP address when it doesn't received one properly
Deleted my network.cfg file. It created a new one that had several more lines of settings than the original one, but still behaved the same way (no IP)
Checked my router's clients list and don't see anything listed for it (but I do when I was booted to Windows)
