For Windows computer, Google windows 10 set static ip address (Replace "10" with proper version of Windows OS) This is best to select an address in the 192.168.1.XXX range--- XXX is between 2 and 254. If the PC is connected wirelessly, be sure you select IP address that the wireless router will never assign in your environment. (You could also use the 192.168.3.XXX range for your assigned addresses...)
For Unraid server, Connect monitor and keyboard. Power-up server. When Boot menu appears, setup the GUI option.
Then select Settings >>> Network Settings Turn on "Help" (The (?) icon on right side of toolbar. Setup a second/different static IP address for the server using the Help. No DNS settings required...
Assuming that both MB's have 1Gbs capability, connect the two PC's together with a cat5/6 cable. (The two NIC's will figure out which leads to use for send/receive...)
By the way, this solution is so early 1990's. I am wondering why you are not using a router/switch. If wiring is an issue, have a look at flat Ethernet cable. It can be run virtually anywhere and hidden under carpet, throw rugs, etc.
EDIT: I also forgot (since you ask for step-by-step).... You will have to use IP addresses to connect to the other server. Network names like 'TOWER', 'MYPC' don't exist in this environment!
Thanks mate. 1. I am connecting directly now because of the situation and my switch failed or something. My network doesnt switch to gigabit through the switch, I am suspecting the network switch only. Also I need to copy few files only and after that the server will be moved to another location. So i dont think getting a new switch is an option too.
2. Am curious see how this connection works ;) -

Do you not want either your PC or your server to have internet access? Without internet access neither will be able to update or install anything new.
Yes. Absolutely, Would i be able to connect internet through my pc? My pc has a wireless adapter, how should i connect both the networks at the same time?

Hi, I would like to know the step by step configuration procedure for connecting Unraid with My pc directly without using network switch or router.
I couldn't find exactly what needs to be done in specifics on regards to IP management and how and where it should be done on both windows side and Unraid side. Little dumb in this sense please help.
-
I dont have, if it is there it must be inside the server only. May be in the ssd cache drive or something. I dont remember properly of these information at this point.

Hi,
Its been sometime, and after covid am just dusting a old server to get my files, to my surprise the OS pendrive is missing. Is it possible to retrieve the machine license and files in the machine to its original state ? Please help.

Hei guys !! The monitor cable kind a blown today. The UPS shut down immediately. After starting with the unraid am missing 2 disks now. Not sure what to do. Will it be the smps or the sata cable ? I have an HBA connected to the config. Not sure what and all fried out. Help please !!

There are read errors on disk1, you should be alerted for that (if notifications are enable), if you continue the rebuild disk will have corruption, cancel, replace cables on disk1 and try again.
Hurray !! thanks man. But a general query how do cables wear out physically? just by conduction?

I happened to rebuild my data into a drive the other day. The power went down multiple times so the rebuild did not finish. Am not sure what happened in between. I tried to initiate the process today but the rebuild rate was very low showed me some 1000 days to finish. Then i realized there are some errors happening on disk 1 and disk 6 is the one to be rebuilt. I really don't know what to do at this point. Please help
-
Hei guys the rebuild started but had to be interferred because of repeated power cuts here.
I tried to rebuild today. Its showing 1000 days something for the finish time. also the speed is very very low. Like even KB's at times.
Can you guys check with the posted diagnostics for whats happening ? -
Cool. Thanks a ton guys
-
Thanks guys !! Love you unraid people
Its rebuilding. Is it because bad shut downs ? or something i can fix, its been happening every here and then.
In addition can i get to know why there are errors in Disk 5 also how do i avoid getting such errors. -

You should still be able to use a different SATA end, Intel ATA errors are gone now, and since the emulated disk is mounting and if contents look correct you can rebuild on top.
May i know how to start the rebuild process? Steps would be easy to follow.

Replace SATA cable on disk6, go to BIOS and change the onboard SATA from IDE to AHCI, reboot, start array and post new diags.
I couldn't replace the cables but I did change the mode to ahci and rebooted. Attached the diags

Its connected to the Dell H310 with a SAS connector and this is the first and only hard disc connected with the 310.
I dont have any replacement cables available in the local market, should take atleast a week or more.
And this problem hasn't happened in the same hard drive all 3 times, it was different drive each time.
I ll check with the bios and change if needed., will post you the details. -
Hei guys facing similar problems here. Contents are emulated but disabled disk. Its the third time in the row not sure why this is happening, may be because of the disc over heating?
Can i run -L in this? Disk 6
Also disk 5 is showing some errors in the dashbaord, would like to know what i can do about that too.

I really dont understand i have reset my failed hard disc with a new one and still showing this way. Yesterday the data reconstruction was going on but the power went down. Now i turned on and there server shows the 4th disc to be disabled and content emulated with a red color x. Have posted the diagnostics as well hope the minds can help me in this.

I am running a photography company where the files are mostly in GB's and GB's. We move lot of files everyday. The limitation i face is that due to the network limitations while copying or writing from a network computer to unraid takes huge amount of time. I am looking for a feasible method where if it is possible to copy files through the USB 3 ports of the unraid server directly rather than going into a network computer for the job.

Delete or rename network.cfg and network-rules.cfg (if exists) on the flash's config folder and reboot, this will reset Unriad network settings and try to get a DHCP IP address from your router, if that doesn't work post new diags.
Oh thanks man. Just got to know there were some ip gateway clash between the router and my network switch both being under the same name. Changed it, now working.
Another common thing, is the router DNS server safe ? I have set it as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 under dhcp ip but in the above screenshot it still shows local ip!! is it fine? -
Its just unraid not having access.

Please don't double post, you already posted a new thread, I'm merging the posts.
sorry man. Just in need of urgent help.

I just noticed that my unraid is not connecting to the internet. Not sure what screwed up but may be the router got reset itself is what i have observed so far.
Is there a proper way to check why this is not working and where to correct it. Adding the diagnostics data and the router status as well hope that helps.

Error 04 on license upgrade. I have the set time to proper as well. Even the BIOS. Any suggestions ? And yeah the apps page doesnt load too!! Not sure how to check if it has internet access.
Its rebuilding. Is it because bad shut downs ? or something i can fix, its been happening every here and then.
