New old hardware issues.

[don256us]

I'm running UnRAID 6.9.2

My old MB died.  I bought a used MB and CPU.  I was able to switch all of my hardware to the new machine and things looked like it was going to work fine.  For a time, I was only able to connect via local host on the physical machine.  Note:  I am running UnRAID on bare metal and not as a VM or docker or anything.  Straight from the USB drive.

 

I had issues with my static IP which took me a while to find and correct.  I have removed the static reservation from my network.

 

Now when I boot up, I get the Firefox browser telling me that it cannot connect to the localhost.  Google seaching has not helped.

 

I have tired different USB ports and all have the behavior.

I tried different network ports on my switch.

I was able to add a different NIC and that did not help.

 

I've modified the network.cfg many times but am currently running with this:

# Generated settings:
IFNAME[0]="br0"
BONDNAME[0]="bond0"
BONDING_MIIMON[0]="100"
BRNAME[0]="br0"
BRSTP[0]="no"
BRFD[0]="0"
BONDING_MODE[0]="1"
BONDNICS[0]="eth0 eth1"
BRNICS[0]="bond0"
PROTOCOL[0]="ipv4"
USE_DHCP[0]="no"
IPADDR[0]="192.168.1.9"
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
GATEWAY[0]="192.168.1.1"
DNS_SERVER1="192.168.1.1"
USE_DHCP6[0]="no"
DHCP6_KEEPRESOLV="no"
SYSNICS="1"

 

I've tried turning DHCP on then off on various tries.

I have turned off IPv6.

 

I've not messed with any of the other config files.

 

I am able to get into the UEFI and make any changes I want and I get good picture during boot and even in the GUI.  The hardware seems to work fine.

Using a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 1.0) with newest firmware and a Xeon W3690 and 24 GB DDR3 RAM.

Delete or rename network.cfg so it will use defaults then go from there.

 

Consider reserving IP by MAC address in router instead of setting static IP that way you can manage IPs for everything in the one place that matters.

That worked.  Thank you very much.  Now on to the next issue.  One of my HDDs did not survive.  It died when I lost the MB aparently.  It was half expected.  I'll do my Google-Fu and if I can't get it, I know where to ask.  Thank you again.

 

Oh.  I will reserve the IP via DHCP reservation going forward.

What are the symptoms? A disabled disk is often just a bad connection. Attach diagnostics to your NEXT post for further advice.
