December 10, 20214 yr I don't think my Ethernet drivers are loaded or the UNRAID portal. Here is what happened. I always had a cable modem and a router hooked up. My cable modem started to flake out on me so I ordered another modem from the cable company. I said to myself I'm going to try and use this new modem natively and remove my own personal router and just use the inside capabilities of the modem itself instead of my router. This new modem had a completely different subnet and IP addresses. No big deal, so I decided to use them. The new modem was 10.0.0.1 and used 10.x for everything. The old modem used 192.168.x.x IP addresses but both modem were identical. My UNRAID server was configured to be 192.168.1.253. NOW, I can't even access my UNRAID box because it looks to me the Ethernet drivers don't even load ( no lights ) and the portal is down. For me to access the UNRAID box I have to remove one SFF 8 port card and put a display card there. I went into the network.cfg file, made all the changes and put everything back. Still can't access my unraid box no matter what I do. Going a little crazy here. I really would like to keep the new 10.0.x.x but if I have to switch back I will. Anyone have any recommendations on how to straighten this out. It's a big curve call that came out of the mitt pretty quick. Why didn't my IP's change with UNRAID when I made the changes to the network.cfg file?
December 10, 20214 yr Author I have lost access to all GUI based everything. I want to put unraid in a %100 DHCP environment. To do that, is the network.cfg the only one I need to change? Anyone know the correct syntax for that file?
December 10, 20214 yr Community Expert Just delete network.cfg so it will default to DHCP. I always recommend letting everything on your network use DHCP, and if you want anything to have a static IP, reserve that IP for that MAC address in the router. That way everything is managed in the one place it really matters, your router.
