Hello everyone, I'm really new to UnRAID and I'm having some issues related to the network connection of my NAS. The main problem is that when I reboot or shutdown and power on my NAS it can't connect to my network anymore. If I go to my router/modem settings I cannot see my UnRAID machine. However if I try to recreate from scratch the USB and import back my trial key, at the first boot, it get assigned an IP address and I can connect with no issues to the GUI. I see from the network.conf file that the DHCP option is set to "yes" so it should get an IP address as soon as it boots up. That's what I see in the network.conf file:

 

# Generated network settings

USE_DHCP="yes"

IPADDR=

NETMASK=

GATEWAY=

BONDING="yes"

BRIDGING="yes"

 

What should I do? Thanks!

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread taken after the problem has occurred.

I managed to solve my issue by disabling the static IP association in my router/modem settings and by modifying the network.conf file as follows:

 

# Generated network settings

USE_DHCP="no"

IPADDR="192.168.1.120"

NETMASK="255.255.255.0"

GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"

BONDING="yes"

BRIDGING="yes"

DNS_SERVER1="192.168.1.104"

DNS_SERVER2="192.168.1.104"

 

where:

• IPADDR is the static IP I chose for my UnRAID machine;
• DNS_SERVER1 and DNS_SERVER2 are both equal to the IP address of my Pi-Hole, otherwise they could be set to the same IP of the gateway or DNS provider.
