March 9, 20233 yr Hello, I followed the below space invader one guide to setup a 10GB connection between my server and another computer and it completely broke my gui access. I changed the interface eth1 ip address to static at 10.10.10.26 and enabled bridging, clicked apply and restarted. Now I cannot access the server over the network (not even in gui mode) and I cannot even ssh into it anymore. It's like it does not exist on my network. I removed the flash drive and deleted network.cfg and it did nothing, I still cannot access my server. My router does not even show the server is connected any more. I reset my router and removed the dhcp reservation I had set for the server. I tried connecting both ethernet ports to my switch as well. Nothing is working. I waited 15 minutes after rebooting the server to make sure it was completely booted up. Please any help to get my server back would be greatly appreciated, I am out of ideas and have tried everything I have found on the forums. Edited March 9, 20233 yr by daMonsta
March 9, 20233 yr Author I just tried booting with a flash backup I have from 2 days ago, same result, cannot access the server. The only difference is the backup flash is not even allow me to boot into gui mode, it hangs when it's done printing to the screen, as if I choose normal boot. Its as if the changes I made broke the on board ethernet ports?? The router is not seeing the server even with my backup which had no issues.
March 9, 20233 yr Author Solution Okay I believe I found the solution. For those in the future that may come across this problem: 1. Pull the plug. Shutting down is not enough, physically pull the plug from the power supply. (It appears something was saved on the hardware that prevented the eth ports from resetting to their previous state.) 2. Create a backup of your flash drive, and replaced the network.cfg and network-rules.cfg (Luckly I had a backup of these two files to use. Also make sure to use the same exact flash drive. Do not use another drive with your backup files as this caused the boot to hang.)
