Thanks so much for checking into that. seems strange - i must have been pinging the wrong thing. What do you suggest I should do now? everything works on the network... are there some unraid settings i need to tweak?
You need to fix the network connection. If there are multiple ethernet ports on your server try another one. Check cables and plugs, both ends. Try another port on the switch or router, etc.
wow thank you so much! my mobo is weird and has 3 lan ports, and it seems two out of the three only work together, with teaming, so i tried the other one, and lo, it works! I've been working on this project for so long now, im getting tired .
thanks again!
