juzk Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) I posted this to reddit as well, and got some suggestions - nothing seems to work however. I really don't want to do a fresh install and am hoping someone can help me out! I had to replace my modem (router is exactly the same). I can't access the unRAID GUI, nor can I ping it. I also don't see the unRAID server a wired connection in my router settings. I've tried changing to DHCP and back, rebooting in the process. I'm completely lost and don't know how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Edited February 26, 2022 by juzk Quote Link to comment
Solution trurl Posted February 26, 2022 Solution Share Posted February 26, 2022 Put flash in your PC. Delete (or rename) config/network.cfg so defaults will be used. Quote Link to comment

This absolutely saved me and got me up and running in no time. To anyone else who might have this issue, delete the config/network.cfg file as trurl mentioned. Then the default values will be used. You can still go back in and change DHCP to static IP (which I did manually in the config file as opposed to the GUI as my server was overloaded for some reason trying to stop Dockers and VM). I verified the IP address, and changed the DHCP value to "no". In Grafana, I just changed my source which was previously ###.###.0.105. I changed it to ###.###.1.105 which is my current IP. Everything else works as normal and was surprisingly updated accordingly. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 The best way to set static IP is to reserve it by MAC address in your router. That way you can manage all your IPs in the one place that really matters. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 In addition to what Trurl suggests, when ever I know that the subnet on the modem / router has changed due to a hardware change, I simply go to the router's settings and change the subnet that it uses to match how my previous setup was. Saves a ton of reconfiguring when you may have containers and/or other devices on the network that are accessing services via an IP address Quote Link to comment
juzk Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 VERY useful information! Thanks Trurl and Squid! I got unRAID up and running for the ease of it but am learning more and more as I go. You guys make it easy for us who don't know the ins and outs of networking Quote Link to comment
