November 15, 20232 yr 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:

November 15, 20232 yr Community Expert 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

That's the main issue for now. This is when the link is up: Edited November 15, 20232 yr by cinereus
November 15, 20232 yr Community Expert Last time it dropped it linked at gigabit speed only, suggesting some cable/NIC issue.
November 15, 20232 yr Author 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.
November 16, 20232 yr Author It's currently been up for several hours in a row and still can't ping in either direction.
November 16, 20232 yr Community Expert The fact that is not linking at the correct speed suggests an issue, if possible try with different cable/NICs.
November 16, 20232 yr Author I have changed to a new dedicated 1 Gbps port which still has the same issue. It says connected but won't ping.
November 16, 20232 yr Community Expert Is this still the direct connection? Is the main eth0 working?
