Hello and good day It looks like I have my settings are correct but I can't seem to open up the web gui get a "this site can't be reached refused to connect error" I have it set to the default port of 8112 I have my log file attached any insight would be great delugevpn.txt

Hi John yes it is a part of the motherboard I have a couple of pictures one is a screenshot of an ipconfig when I boot into windows the 2nd is an ifconfig -a when I boot from the flash drive ipconfig.zip

reset router & motherboard to factory defaults still cannot obtain an IP and when I assign one manually it can not be accessed via another machine

John I reboot the router a few times about 30 minutes ago I did a full reset cleared nvram factory default settings same thing cannot obtain IP address thank you for the suggestion 192.168.1.1 is what use to get to the router interface

no equipment has been moved if and when I can get this working I'm going to reformat the drives that have windows on it all is fine and clear on the port and connection there is just some sort of ghost in the machine If I didn't have such a good head of hair I would start pulling it out

The plot thickens I have an old laptop that has a LAN port but it's 32 bit I downloaded the 32bit version of unraid and put it on the flashdrive booted up the old laptop using the cable that I was using in the machine and it was assigned an IP without issue

Thanks Franks and I wish I had good news followed your instructions renamed the old file and added the new navigated to 192.168.1.242 and I get a webpage not available ERR_Connection_Timed_Out I logged into the router and it doesn't see it either

tried different cable and port on router that I use for a different machine still no dice The router is an asus rt-ac66u the motherboard for the machine is an asus gryphon z87 not sure if there are any settings I should be looking at Thank you

Thank you for the reply I tried setting a static IP and the machine could not be seen on the network or logged into via a browser from another machine the LAN connection is via the motherboard the addon card is a SATA card I am attaching the diagnostics.zip as requested again thank you tower-diagnostics-20160311-0017.zip

Problem has been solved After spending most of my work day searching every nook and cranny of the world wide web researching this issue I hit pay dirt the culprit WOL features have to be turned off I fired the flash drive up there she as beautiful as I ever could have imagined the elusive IP address Thanks for all that offered their help I really appreciate it. Good Day I'm trying to fire up a unRAID server for the first time and before I get the Tower login it says Cannot obtain IP address reading through some posts on the matter I have tried setting a static IP and it could not be seen on the network if I boot the machine into Windows I have no network issues at all I have the USB labeled UNRAID my network card is a Intel I217-V driver 12.15.22.3 Any insight would be great I'm foaming at the mouth to get this up and running Added log file log.txt
