rsutter Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I needed to do some updates to the NAS that I use for UNRAID. I bought a new USB thumb drive and have used to USB creator to boot up. I created a static IP and when I start up with the USB I am prompted with login. In the past , the login would simply be username: root with no password which would load UNRAID. I have done this a few times but only get this: login: root Linux 6.1.74-Unraid. root@sutterstuff: # which I believe is wrong. Can someone suggest to me what I might be doing wrong and how to get UNRAID to load on my NAS? Thanks Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Looks correct to me. Is it not reachable at the IP address listed a little bit above the screenshot you posted? If not, at the prompt you are showing type ping<space><router ip> and see if it can see the router. Quote Link to comment
rsutter Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 If I go to a browser and enter the IP, I don't get a connection. I remember in the past at that UNRAID screen I can now create a UN/ PW. I DID ENTER PING (IP) and i get a series 64 bytes from IP icmp_seq = numbers. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 As an example, lets say your IP's are as follows 192.168.1.1 router 192.168.1.2 daily driver 192.168.1.3 Unraid Try pinging the router and your desktop machine from Unraid, and try pinging the router and Unraid from your desktop machine. All should reply back. Did you assign a static IP to Unraid that is outside the range of addresses automatically assigned by your router? If not, it's possible some other device got that same IP and is causing issues. Quote Link to comment
rsutter Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 In the past, the static IP that I used was in range. The UNRAID is not on - I cannot log into it. on my desktop I pinged 192.168.1.144 Pinging 192.168.1.144 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.1.9: Destination host unreachable. Reply from 192.168.1.9: Destination host unreachable. Reply from 192.168.1.9: Destination host unreachable. Reply from 192.168.1.9: Destination host unreachable. which makes sense. thank you for your help! Quote Link to comment

rsutter Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 The attachment is from a monitor that is hooked up to the NAS. I just created a new USB and changed the static IP to .44 The gateway is the IP of my router and the DNS server is 1.1.1.1. I have allow UEFO boot as checked. When the NAS boots from the USB and I prompted for login, I enter root enter and receive the same thing root@SutterStuff:~# SutterStuff is the server name. If I use CMD to ping the IP anding in .44 I get this Pinging 192.168.1.44 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.1.9: Destination host unreachable. Request timed out. Reply from 192.168.1.9: Destination host unreachable. Reply from 192.168.1.9: Destination host unreachable. Ping statistics for 192.168.1.44: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 3, Lost = 1 (25% loss), Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Try DHCP instead of static, just to see if Unraid can get an IP from the router. It will show the IP it gets on screen just above the login prompt. Quote Link to comment
rsutter Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 I did try that! The result when I loaded UNRAID from newly made USB detected NO IP. I will change the cat5 cable and plug into another port to cross check Quote Link to comment

I will change the cat5 cable and plug into another port to cross check. After changing the cable, the system did boot up with a static IP. I need to buy another license for this box!

rsutter Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 The box is right below the router (Orbi NetGear) and I used a brand new cat5 cable and plugged into one of the ports of the ORBI instead of one of the switches next to the router. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 So is the Unraid GUI coming up when you go to that IP on your regular computer? Quote Link to comment
