cbr600ds2 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Maybe we can sticky this for the future people that move to Spectrum. So I've moved to a place where the modem/router provided by the internet company (spectrum) won't let you change the IP address. I typically had changed everything so that it the router had an IP of 192.168.50.1 and everything would fall in line. Now the spectrum modem/router (which may or may not change in the future but I hate it but I digress) won't let me set that. If I read correctly, if I delete the network.cfg file it will automatically DHCP and figure out an IP address, correct? I can just ifconfig eth0 to get the correct address of the server and then GUI into that, right? I would imagine I would have to switch all of the docker IP info manually correct?

JonathanM Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 You need to tell Spectrum to put the modem into bridge mode, and put your own router in place to provide firewall and other services. That way you can control everything the way you need it. Relying on their router is going to give you nothing but headaches. Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I know for a fact they CAN do that, the question is whether they will or not. Quote Link to comment

I can't work with unraid without it? I've always used modem to router and never a modem in bridge mode. Spectrum tech support is a joke. Quote Link to comment

Unraid itself will work fine, but you lose the ability to host content available outside the LAN, like SWAG and whatever you would want to reverse proxy through it. That may not be a concern for you though, if everything you use Unraid for is inside your LAN. Quote Link to comment

Oh gotcha - Yeah I pretty much just use it as file server/media center (Emby) and sab. nothing that I would need hosted. at this point. Do you mind if I send you a direct mail? I have a question about the new version that I don't want to put up on here as I feel like its a bit dumb. Quote Link to comment

Trust me, you are not the dumbest person on this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment
cbr600ds2 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Does the multiple pools feature of the new version sort of defeat the purpose of unassigned devices? Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

Not necessarily. There are still many good uses for unassigned devices: Plug in an external USB drive and backup share data to it automatically via a UD script Use a USB device as a location for the syslog A UD for VMs is still preferred by some A UD as a download, personal cloud data, transcode or media conversion location may still be preferable in some cases over a cache pool Unassigned Devices supports formats such as NTFS which allow these devices to read in Windows outside the array. 1 Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 For some purposes, yes, but UD is ideal for handling hot-plugged temporarily-attached USB drives and for mounting shares from other servers. Quote Link to comment
