December 18, 20205 yr This is now the third time that I have observed this behavior ... Every time a new network card is installed for eth0, the old IP can no longer be used. When i use my old IP, i can ping the server, but no webGui or somethig else... only a change of the old IP to a new one helps... Can someone explain to me what the problem is? Is that the intention of unraid? Edited December 18, 20205 yr by Zonediver
December 18, 20205 yr Community Expert Are you rebooting your router so that it releases the IP mapping for the old card?

December 18, 20205 yr Community Expert How are you setting the IP address? The normal recommendation is to have Unraid set to use DHCP and then reserve the address for Unraid at the router level.

December 18, 20205 yr Do you have an Internet modem that is assigning addresses from a DHCP pool? Does that pool overlap your server address? Many (perhaps most?) modems will automatically build a table of MACaddr + IP address then reserve that IP address. That's so if you reboot some device, it gets the same IP address each time. I've had issues where the modem default was to have the DHCP pool be the entire /24 address space. So an old NIC's MAC address / IP address pair remains in it's table. It's called IP Reservation on some devices, Static Lease on others. My particular modem has a GUI to allow adding/dropping MAC addresses from that table, and that fixes such things for me. Your modem may vary... -- Tom Edited December 18, 20205 yr by Tom3 typo

As soon i do this, i have no longer access to unraid... even when i disconnect Modem and router, i can't access unraid with a previous used IP... this is f.... weird...
