asdlkfj Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) I just started using Unraid and I'm using the trail version. My server is directly connected through an ethernet cable with a Mac. Also an internet connection is being shared from my Mac through the same ethernet connection. The issue that I'm having is with installing the Community Applications plugin: plugin: installing: community.applications.plg Executing hook script: pre_plugin_checks plugin: downloading: community.applications.plg ... plugin: community.applications.plg download failure: Network failure Executing hook script: post_plugin_checks I've tried recreating the network.cfg file and different DNS: 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1 and 8.8.8.8. But it keeps giving me the same error. I do think I have an active internet connection, because the trial version requires an active internet connection. The current network.cfg data: # Generated settings: IFNAME[0]="br0" DHCP_KEEPRESOLV="yes" DNS_SERVER1="1.1.1.1" DNS_SERVER2="1.0.0.1" DHCP6_KEEPRESOLV="no" BRNAME[0]="br0" BRNICS[0]="eth0" BRSTP[0]="no" BRFD[0]="0" DESCRIPTION[0]="Main" PROTOCOL[0]="ipv4" USE_DHCP[0]="no" IPADDR[0]="192.168.2.3" NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0" GATEWAY[0]="192.168.2.1" USE_DHCP6[0]="yes" SYSNICS="1" Th shared ethernet settings on my mac: IPv4 Manually configured IP addres: 192.168.2.5 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.2.1 DNS Servers: 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1 tower-diagnostics-20230402-0226.zip Edited April 1, 2023 by asdlkfj Quote Link to comment
Solution Squid Posted April 2, 2023 Solution Share Posted April 2, 2023 Have you tried setting the gateway instead of being the router to be the IP of the Mac? Shared internet is (nowadays) a real oddity in setting up any home network. Also, any change if you use DHCP on the server? Quote Link to comment
asdlkfj Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 Thx for the reply @Squid. I gave up the idea of sharing the internet from the mac. In the end I purchased a cheap wireless router and set up as a repeater. And it's working now. Quote Link to comment
