Long story short, my previous server died RIP Dell R710 so my new to me R720xd has been put in to production.  I swapped all drives and flash drive and all seemed ok.  But now I can't get to the internet with my beloved box.  I have found that if it is configured as a static ip it won't connect beyond my local network but it will get to the internet if configured for DHCP.  Has anyone ever seen this before? 

ISP connects to Dell R610 running PFSense which in turn feeds UnRaid box from a switch. 

 

Thanks all,

Does PFSense register the Mac address for static IP addresses?  Each NIC is suppose to that an unique Mac address.  If so--- New Computer = New NIC = New MAC address...

Well this issue has gone down hill quick lol.  My UnRaid Server shows it pulling IP addresses and PF Sense shows it in the ARP table but the UnRaid server can't get out or even ping my GW address. This all seems to have happened after the upgrade to 6.12.4. Prior to the upgrade I was finally able to get out and update the OS but now I have no connection at all.  Really don't want to rebuild the entire OS from scratch. Not that I have much in the way of customizations done but still. 

This has been resolved by deleting /config/network.cfg on the flash drive and booting the server again. 

 

Have  a great one and thanks for all the help and great product.  Now time to upgrade the license I have.
