My PCIe X1 NIC died on my server. I switched to my onboard NIC and now my server cant reach out to the internet.

I can ping my server just fine. I can access UnRaid(6.12.6) from the webui without issue. When i try and ping or traceroute in the terminal on unraid the terminal window closes out after freezing for around 15-20 seconds. When i try and load new apps it gives me an error (Download of appfeed failed.)

 

I deleted the /boot/config/network.cfg file, rebooted, then changed the static back to the correct IP, then rebooted again, it still has the same issue. I also rebooted my router with no changes. Also i have the Archer AX3000 Pro and the unraid server no longer shows in my client list even though i can ping it from my main PC (that is hardwired), and my phone that's on wi-fi.

 

Here are the contents of my network.cfg file. (i run pi-hole that's why my first DNS is 10.1.1.208)

 

What can i do to get this resolved?

Attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

Try using your router or Google as you first DNS.

Sorry forgot to post i used DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 before deleting the network file or anything else.

And the server was connected directly to the router?

Yes i bypassed my switch when i first started testing.

Post new diags with the default network setting (rename netowrk.cfg) and Unraid connected directly to the router.

Here you go. Also i just added a TP-Link 2.5G NIC to my Server. no changes with the internet access on the server.

You are using a static IP, not the default DHCP, still, and assuming the IP/gateway are correctly set, don't see anything wrong, it may still be worth to try DHCP, because it looks to me like you have a DNS issue, if the server is connected directly to the router it could be the router, maybe someone else with more networking knowledge will be able to help.

Yeah when I first booted it up after the incident DHCP grabbed an IP that I had to look up. That’s when I noticed it couldn’t connect. I switched it back to the original static hopping it would resolve the problem. When I get home later today I’ll test it connected directly to the router with DHCP on and see if anything changes.

Thank you for your help!

OK got it fixed. DHCP turned on worked. When DHCP was still on i pinged port 10.1.1.222 and nothing, So no other device was using it. I went pretty deep into my router settings and noticed that the IP 10.1.1.222 was bound to the old NIS's Mac address. so with any other NIC it wouldn't work. was able to clear it out. Now everything is up and running again. Thank for your help!
