November 29, 20232 yr Last night my unRAID server started acting flaky. First noticed that I couldn't access Plex properly. It would sometimes load content and then not. Then I tried pulling up the unRAID webgui. It was slow moving between pages. I checked docker containers like cloudflared and it was spitting out connection errors like crazy and obviously any sites I was using a CF tunnel on was intermittent. At first I thought there must be a cloudflare issue, but that shouldn't have affected Plex, so it seems the culprit must be network connectivity based. I recently rebuilt my server with an ASUS z790 mobo with the Intel 2.5G i226 nic. I also built a new desktop with a similar mobo and the same nic. No end of issues with it on Windows until I finally disable the on-board nic and installed a discreet one. So, I'm wondering...is unRAID just as susceptible to the i226 issues? I've been running this build for about a month and it just started doing this. I have a new nic on the way, just in case. I'm hoping that will solve the problem. I'm at work right now and I can't access the server at all via VPN like I normally can. I started a reboot this morning before I left and it either never came back up or the network connection is completely gone now.
November 30, 20232 yr it seem's like i habe Problems with Intel NIC i266 too.. Just disconnects by itself, so that i cant reach the Server via IP (need to do Poweroff via Console directly on the Server with attached Display and Keyboard). i am wondering if we are the only ones..

November 30, 20232 yr Author My problem, in this case, ended up being a bone-headed mistake on my part. After upgrading my server hardware, I used the old mobo as a desktop PC. Forgot to update my pfsense router so that the same static IP wasn't assigned to the mobo's NIC MAC. So when I fired up the new PC, I had an IP conflict and that threw my server out of whack. Still though, the widespread issues with the i226 NIC bothers me. Two different Z790 mobos in my new desktop had the same issues. I'm assuming a linux-based system could have the same problems. I have a new discreet NIC coming for the server now. I'll swap it out to avoid any potential issues.
