    Doh! I have been battling a low CMOS battery, and somewhere along the line every BIOS setting was correct EXCEPT the setting to disable the built-in LAN ports. Darn EGO! I was so sure I had the setting right, I wouldn't even check it... Thanks bubbaQ, RobJ and limetech (Tom is it?). Consider this solved.

    Sorry for the delay! Here is the raw output from a root telnet prompt: root@Tower:~# cat /proc/net/dev Inter-| Receive | Transmit face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packe ts errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed lo: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 eth0:21224369 235368 0 0 0 0 0 0 519644323 382 907 0 0 0 0 0 0 eth1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 eth2: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Right now, the cable is plugged in to eth0, and everything works fine at 10/100. At one point when I was messing around with some other program that I don't remember, the MB ports were labeled eth0 and eth1, while the add-in generic GigE Realtec RTL8169S-32 NIC was labeled something like efx0. Thank you!

    Oh, and yes I did double check that the on-board NICs were disabled (only one option to enable/disable both of them). Thanks though, it's always good to remember to check the simple things first!

    Actually UnRAID grabs the first on-board NIC and labels it eth0. The board is a fairly old dual P3 Tyan Tiger 200 (S2505) with two Intel 82559 10/100 controllers onboard. It has the last BIOS update available flashed to it. In my limited experience with Linux, it seems that BIOS can be ignored for deeper control of hardware, but I could be wrong on that.

    Do any of you have multiple nics in your box? In my testing, I have had unRAID grab different nics on different boots. I have a Tyan board with 2 built in 10/100 ports, and a PCI realtek GigE card. One time unRAID grabbed the GigE card, but now it seems to want to grab one of the 10/100 ports all of the time. I have the built-in motherboard ethernet disabled in BIOS, but Linux doesn't seem to care about that. I have tried booting up with the cable in different ports, and can't reproduce the GigE card getting chosen.
