March 31, 20215 yr Hi, I moved my Unraid install over to a new motherboard and connected all the drives and the USB. Now i'm not getting a proper IP address and cannot access the UI. I'm getting a 169.* address. I can logon via the command line, I just need to get to the UI so I can add in the drives in order again. Diagnostics are attached. Thanks Regards, Brandan unraid-diagnostics-20210218-0401.zip
March 31, 20215 yr Most probably, your MB NIC is not supported in 6.8.3. You should try the latest version that has a recent kernel with the appropriate drivers.
March 31, 20215 yr Author Hi, Thanks, how would I confirm this? Also how would I upgrade the unraid version on the existing USB stick without losing my config? Regards, Brandan
March 31, 20215 yr Community Expert Try power cycling your network equipment, and if you set a DHCP reservation in your router make sure its updated for the MAC of your new system.

I do not remember what drivers were in 6.8 what were added in 6.9, but this issue comes back on the forum pretty often and the upgrade is the solution 99% of the time. A 169. IP address means that the server could not get a proper IP from DHCP. As for the update, you can DL the zip file here : https://unraid.net/download and replace the bz files on the drive. If you want to be sure, you can also create a new trial drive and see how it behaves.
March 31, 20215 yr Community Expert I don't think its drivers, I looked up his motherboard specs and it has the standard intel 1GbE LAN, which should be ok. Assuming a static IP has been set, there will be a routing conflict in the switch where 2 MAC address (old and new system) resolve to the same IP address. Power cycling the network equipment is an easy way to rule this out, as this clears the ARP cache.
March 31, 20215 yr Author Hi All, It has a 2.5G network onboard, updated the unraid version on the USB and it looks to have found the network again. All looks good besides my VM which requires a BIOS setting somewhere. Thank you for the help, things are rocking again this side. Regards, Brandan
