December 23, 20214 yr Recently I moved across the country and my server was in storage for about a month. When I finally got all my possessions and fired up my server, all it would pull was a 169.254 address. Tried different NICs and all had the same issue. Rebooted to safe mode and it pulled a 192.168 address as expected. Rebooted to unRAID and everything worked fine until Monday. Lost power on Monday, when it came back up I had the same issue - unRAID wouldn't pull an IP address. Thinking that maybe I had an initial intermittent NIC failure turned permanent failure, I went and grabbed a USB NIC. Still no dice. I haven't been able to mess with it until today, but I still have the same issue. On a whim, I loaded up another thumb drive with unRAID and that grabbed an IP address no problem, so there's obviously something going on in the Config, it would seem to me. I have deleted the network.cfg and no change. Any ideas on where to go next? I mean, I could just use the new thumb drive, but I would hate to redo all the shit that I've done on the old thumb drive like dockers and such... Most recent log file from the thumb drive is attached. sithnas-diagnostics-20211214-1403.zip
December 23, 20214 yr Community Expert One thing that I see is that you are asking for IPv6 IP addresses. I also observed that you are in the USA (timeZone="America/Chicago") and I believe most USA IPS's are not providing IPv6 support at this time. I would suggest that you rename network.cfg to network.cfg.bak and reboot. Then setup your network again
December 23, 20214 yr Community Expert You also have two NIC's. Make sure that you have cat5 cables plugged into bot of them...
December 24, 20214 yr Author Deleted network.cfg and rebooted - no dice. Put in a blank network.cfg, also no dice. Put in a fresh thumb drive with unRAID loaded on it, it comes right up to the config screen with all the device assignments with the old DHCP reservation.
December 24, 20214 yr Community Expert Was hoping that someone more knowledgeable than I would jump in with some insight... Delete the network.cfg file (again) and this time select 'Safe Mode' from the boot menu. (This will require a monitor and keyboard connected to your server.) If this works, disable the Docker and VM's settings. (You can find these under the settings tab.) If that works then start them one at a time and see what happens... Question: Are you using an ISP provided modem/router or do you have your own router from the old place? Edited December 24, 20214 yr by Frank1940
December 24, 20214 yr Author I ended up just making a new thumb drive and putting my license on that. I'm back up and running now. Lost some data, but not much.
