I had to replace my router because of hardware failure and now am unable to access UnRAID.  I am pretty sure I know why I can't access it.  I'm not sure how to correct the problem however.

 

I had previously statically set the IP address of the UnRAID Tower 10.10.10.30.  The new router of course does not recognize that and I can't determine what IP address (if any) the new router has assigned to UnRAID.  I have looked up the DHCP client table in the router but it does not list any client related to UnRAID. 

 

I powered down UnRAID and pulled the USB key to look for a network.cfg file in it  (a previous post referring to UnRAID 3.0 indicated that you can text edit that file to change the IP address).  However there was no such file listed.  There is a syslinux.cfg file but no IP address information is present within it.  Telnet ing to Tower just goes to Tower.com.  I didn't find any other methods in the forum, wiki, or Lime's website.

 

Any suggestions on how to reset the IP address of UnRAID in this situation?

 

This is on a MD-1500 running 4.3

 

Thanks much

The network.cfg is in the config folder of the flash.  If you don't see one there, you can easily create it with an adapted version of the following.  Just cut and paste the 5 lines to /config/network.cfg, and change the IP address and gateway to whatever is appropriate.  Or change USE_DHCP to yes, perhaps temporarily to see the assigned values from the router.

 

# Generated network settings

USE_DHCP=no

IPADDR=192.168.0.100

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

Thanks.  That worked perfectly!

 

In the course of copying the new network.cfg onto the flash, I found that there was an existing network.cfg file but that it was hidden.  I just needed to set my folder control panel options appropriately to see it
