December 20, 200718 yr It seems that unRAID is hardwiring the nameserver as 192.168.1.1 in the /etc/resolv.conf file. Therefore, if you are using anything but the 192.168.1.0/24 network with a gateway address of 192.168.1.1 for your network, then you will have poor response from your SMB browsing. I suspect therefore that this was also resulting in a timeout for XBMC connectivity. Greg I think that the resolv.conf file is being set correctly if you set the unRaid server to use DHCP to assign it an IP address. It is not set correctly if you do not use DHCP. Below is the contents of resolv.conf... I do not use 192.168.1.0/24, I do use DHCP to set the IP address.. my /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth0 search Belkin nameserver 192.168.2.1 Joe L.

I use static IP addresses for all of my servers, and only use DHCP for workstations / client PC's on my network. If I had a decent DHCP server I could have setup static IP address allocation for selected MAC addresses and used DHCP throughout, but my router does not support this. This is still a bug that Tom should resolve (it will just be affecting less people - those using unRAID static IP's). ie. If unRAID is configured for a static IP address, then resolv.conf and hosts should by set appropriately, presumably also meaning that dhcpd should not be loaded? (sorry, this is where my limited Linux knowledge kicks in).

December 28, 200718 yr Hi there! I'd like to bump on this XBMC thread to know if you have any idea on how to shutdown the unRAID server from XBMC. I found a python script able to wake it up (WOL script) but nothing so far to shut it down. Could be quite useful don't you think?
