Currently away, don't have access to the machine physically so providing all I can.

 

So, about a week ago I started being unable to access Plex and other dockers running on the server. I logged into a Windows VM running on the server and accessed the WebUI, checked logs, restarted docker, etc. and still no luck so I decided to reboot. I clicked reboot and waited for things to come back online. Unfortunately, things got worse as the VM came back online, but now I could not even connect to the unraid webUI. Tried pinging and nothing. I then accessed the router settings and upon looking at connected devices I found the server with the following details:

 

IPv4 Address
169.254.213.100
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
IPv4 DNS
192.168.1.1
Ipv4 Address Allocation
Static
Lease Type
Static
DHCP lease time remaining
Never
IPv6 LAN Prefix
2600:XXXX:XXXX:4b00::/64
IPv6 Global

IPv6 Type / Address Allocation
Stateless
IPv6 link-local
::
IPv6 DNS
2600:XXXX:XXXX:4b00::1
Network Connection
Bridge
Ping Test
Test Connectivity
Time on the network
5 day(s) 22 hour(s) 51 minutes 32 seconds

 

As you can see it seems like it isn't getting an IP...curious how the VM is yet still able to connect and be accessible if it's setup in unraid...And for comparison, the VM shows up as well, but shows dynamic address allocation, DHCP lease type, and has an IPv4 address that is part of the defined ipv4 address range (192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254).

 

Any ideas? Can I fix remotely or will I need to wait until I can physically access the machine? Let me know if there are any other details I can provide.

resolved issue

Just found this helpful comment, able to login to the webui now and hopefully will be able to resolve.

 

Was able to pull my diagnostics, attached.

Reboot resolved issue, got IP! Readded port to forward for remote access to dockers, though plex is still not working, so will need to look into that

Plex just needed some time to update, all good now
