cinereus Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I have a direct connection from my Windows PC to eth1 on my unraid box. The Windows ethernet is set up as 192.168.0.22 and the unraid machine is set up as 192.168.1.250. They were pinging fine but now suddenly I can't ping either to or from the unraid box any more. The weird thing is that Windows sees the connect and says it's enabled and up. And Unraid sees the connection too, they just can't speak to each other suddenly. Here's my Windows and Unraid settings: Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your Unraid system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread. Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 The end of the syslog in the diagnostics shows the eth1 link continually showing as down and then shortly afterwards showing as up again. I would be tempted to try rebooting your router in case the issue is at that level Quote Link to comment

That's the main issue for now. This is when the link is up: Edited November 15, 2023 by cinereus Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Last time it dropped it linked at gigabit speed only, suggesting some cable/NIC issue. Quote Link to comment
cinereus Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Yeah but it's not currently dropped. It's currently connected. I still can't ping. Before I could ping when connected and not ping (obviously) when dropped. Quote Link to comment
cinereus Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 It's currently been up for several hours in a row and still can't ping in either direction. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 The fact that is not linking at the correct speed suggests an issue, if possible try with different cable/NICs. Quote Link to comment
cinereus Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 I have changed to a new dedicated 1 Gbps port which still has the same issue. It says connected but won't ping. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Is this still the direct connection? Is the main eth0 working? Quote Link to comment

Very strangely, what seems to have fixed it is moving over from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.2.x. No idea what the issue was there.... Quote Link to comment
