Can't Connect to IP

Featured Replies

Hello everyone,

I want to start this post off by saying that I am probably in over my head. I have a home media Plex server with TrueNAS Scale that I want to convert to UNRAID.

I have been unable to connect to my NAS webui through any form. I went out of town for a week, got home and couldn't access my TrueNAS Scale, I figured, okay it borked itself time to switch to UNRAID. I couldn't open my SMB share nor access the webui through it's IP. I tried setting a static IP through the TrueNAS console as well as assigning it an IP in my router interface. Sorry if these terms are incorrect I am ignorant on networking.

 

I have booted into the UNRAID flash drive installer and am having the same issue. I cannot connect to the IP nor tower.local. I have tried multiple devices, on Ethernet and Wifi. It does indeed show an IP on the console of my server as well as in my router interface.

 

My Router is a Netgear Orbi RBRE960 if that helps anyone. I have a feeling this is a networking issue, but I am not sure.

 

If it is a networking issue I'm not sure if these forums are even the correct place to ask.

 

Edited to include diagnostics as per suggestion.

 

Thanks all,

Leo

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread. It is always a good idea when asking questions to supply your diagnostics so we can see details of your system, how you have things configured, and the current syslog.

 

i also have an Orbi RBRE960 and have not had to do anything special with it to get it to work with Unraid.   I do have the Unraid server plugged directly into the router rather than one of the satellites in case you have things set up differently.

Thank you for the suggestion, I attached my diagnostics to my original post. I do have my server plugged directly into the router as well.

Everything looks normal to me, can you ping the server IP (192.168.1.7) from your desktop?

This is what I see when I try to connect or ping.

Any idea what devices 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.105 refer to?

Yes, sorry, I pinged the server without turning it back on. I replaced that image with the correct ping.

Have you checked the machine you are working from? A that you are actually on the network you are looking for and B that you are not statically assigning an invalid address...

 

Also if on Windows is the network configuered as Public or Private...

 

Can you access the router from that network. (I think you said you can)

Te server is getting an IP from the DHCP server, if you can't ping the server it suggests the problem is not the GUI or the server, but your network, or the desktop, check all network connections.

Every device on my network is working fine besides being able to connect to my server. I can control my lights, printers, cameras, door locks, etc.

If you look at the monitor for the unraid server do you see it showing the IP address? Can you log in there just to see that it's working as you expect?

The Live USB shows the IP address which matches the one shown in my router login. I can log in with root, that is how I pulled my diagnostics. Not sure what else I can do on there, from what I understand UNRAID is supposed to be ran headless, through the webgui.

  • Community Expert

Absolutely correct. I'm forced to run mine headless due to an error with a bios upgrade... But did I miss something earlier? You can go to the web portal and you get the login screen?

 

And you can log in as root? and you get the GUI?

 

If so, have you tried logging into the shares as Root?

I cannot get to the webui. That is the point of this thread.

 

I have a keyboard and monitor plugged into my machine. I can log onto the console on there by logging in with root.

 

There are no shares to log into, I haven't installed UNRAID, I am booted into the live installer.

 

To reiterate, my machine is assigned an IP address, I can see it on my network. I cannot connect to it on any device. I have tried many.

OK, Thank makes more sense.. I misunderstood part of your last post...

 

Does this machine have two network ports?

 

the dhcplog shows the card disconnecting and reconnecting...

What happens if you try a continuous ping and let it run for 10 minutes? Does it come and go?

 

What if you were to manually configure the IP?

OK, but the fact that you cannot ping the server says there's problem somewhere, since the server is getting an IP it doesn't look like that is the problem, but go into the CLI and see if you can ping the router from the server:

 

ping -c 4 192.168.1.1

 

Also go into your router's DHCP client list page and post a screenshot of that.
