Really in a mess here. (using 4.7 networked to Mac running Lion)

 

It was all going fine until I pressed 'renew DHCP lease' on network settings on my Mac.

I lost unmenu and Main server management utility - the ip address automatically assigned to Unraid had changed to 192.168.1.12

 

It had been 192.168.2.4 and id put this in the hosts file so I could access unmenu via firefox.

 

Rather than go through that set up again, I thought "I'll just change the 'Obtain IP Address Automatically' setting in the server management page to 192.168.2.4"

 

I did this and bang - lost access.

 

If i scan the network the Server is no-where to be seen. I can't log in to change the setting.

What do I do now?

Hello,

 

Sorry to hear about your problems.

 

I have manually modified the flash\config\network.cfg file before to fix an ip address issue. I just made sure to backup the file, shutdown unRaid server, and then put the flash drive in a windows pc and modify the config file.

 

This has worked for me.

 

It's also a good ideal to backup the entire flash drive contents once you get everything working.

 

Take care,

 

Jim S.

OK I'll give it a go and report back. Might need some advice on what to do next. I assume I open it with Text Edit or Word and go from there.

 

OK i'm back up and running.

 

Thanks heaps for this. Had to make sure TextEdit made it a Unix Exe file not plain text.

Now to reconfig the hosts file if I can remember what to do!
