June 9, 20242 yr Hi all. So, I have a Unraid box connected to my network via a gigabyte connection to my switch, and directly to my MacBook connected through a 2.5g nic in the box for faster access to the MacBook. Was working fine. Then today I turn the box on and the 2.5 connection does not work, the gigabyte works fine. Can´t figure why. Attached are the configuration screens...already deleted the network.config file from the Unraid thumb drive, no good... Any ideas? The first image says that " another device in the network is using that IP...", which there isn´t... Thanks, Andre

I have two NICs in the box...one is the 192...that connects to the switch and the other is the 2.5g which is the 10.10.20.197...the Mac connects to the box trough the 192... connection to login and transfer at lower speeds...and directly through the 10.10.20.197 connection when I wand to go faster...subnet mask are different too... am I misinterpreting something? Calango is the server and the other marked one is the MacBook...
June 9, 20242 yr Community Expert The 2.5GbE direct connection cannot have the same IP for both, change one of them to for example 10.10.20.198

June 10, 20242 yr Community Expert I don't see how it could be working with both on the same IP, post the diags in case there's something visible there.

Oh, as I said, I did change the ip on the server with no results... here is the diagnostics file. calango-diagnostics-20240610-0920.zip

June 10, 20242 yr Community Expert Missed before, the subnet mask for the 2.5GbE is also wrong, don't see how that could be working before, they need to have the same subnet, but first rename/delete /boot/config/network.cfg and reboot, see if internet comes back, if yes reconfigure eth1.

I will, right away...the subnet mask on the MacBook you mean? I don´t see a subnet field on the server side...
June 10, 20242 yr Author Ok, so I deleted the network.config on the Unraid pendrive, rebooted (of course) and then settings were like the first image, bonded ports, regained access to the internet. Modified the file like the second image, set the MacBook 2.5 gbe like that...and nothing works anymore...reversed the configuration file to the "default" and it works, but only in bonded mode, which is kinda useless...jee...

That suggests the 1GiB NIC on the server or on the macbook is linking at 100Mbits, check the link speeds.

June 10, 20242 yr Author About speed...yeah, seems I´m running eth0 at 100mb/s...how do I fix this??? Or Am I confusing Gigabit (Gb) for Gigabyte (GB)? But then the second nic would be 250 mb/s...The more I dig...rsrs. ETH1 is at full speed, with would be good if it worked... root@Calango:~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: external MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: d Link detected: yes root@Calango:~# ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 2500baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 2500baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 2500Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal MDI-X: off (auto) Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000007 (7) drv probe link Link detected: yes Edited June 10, 20242 yr by Botafoguense1965 clarification

This can sometimes happen, type reboot in the CLI, it should come back correctly after a reboot. Subnet is wrong again, as mentioned /16 means 255.255.0.0, either set it on Unraid to /24 or the mackbook to 255.255.0.0. 100Mbits link is usually a cable or switch problem, try a different cable/port

Thanks a lot Jorge for your guidance and patience! Unraid is great, but for the non linux/network savvy, it can be a pain!
