Hi, I cannot access tower as usual from my browser/putty.

 

I have had a lot of problems with this issue in the last weeks, because while trying to copy a file from my pc to unraid suddenly the connection gets lost ( and afterwards this produces the following errors: disks missing, impossible to reboot unraid, ...).

 

I need to solve this lost of connection problem. I will try to resume what i have tried to solve from reading the manuals:

 

I plugged my usb containing unraid in my pc and checked my network.cfg :

 

# Generated settings:

USE_DHCP=no

IPADDR=192.168.0.102

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

DHCP_KEEPRESOLV=no

DNS_SERVER1=80.58.61.254

DNS_SERVER2=

DNS_SERVER3=

 

I did also check my homegroup details in the file ident.cfg :

 

# Generated settings:

NAME=Tower

COMMENT="Media server"

WORKGROUP=MSHOME ... it´s ok!

localMaster=no

DOMAIN=

DOMAIN_LOGIN=Administrator*

DOMAIN_PASSWD=

winbindDelay=10

timeZone=UTC

USE_NTP=yes

NTP_SERVER1=pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER2=

NTP_SERVER3=

 

*I have no domain, just a workgroup: althought "DOMAIN_LOGIN=Administrator"  I am in Windows using not the Administrator account, just the home account. Does it play a role?

 

I also changed the cable and still have the problem.

 

I also type ifconfig eth0, and I do not get any IP, which is very strange. I don´t see IPADDR=192.168.0.102 which is the correct ip of my unraid.

 

Can anyone point me out what can I do?

 

I cannot get any syslog since i can only access the unraid command prompt console. Let me know how to copy it to my usb flash. I tried " cp  /var/log/syslog  /boot" but had no success.

 

Rgds.

You have network problem. So to fix it, shutdown unraid,  use Windows Explorer, open up flash, config, network.cfg and edit it with notepad, USE_DHCP=yes. If you saved the config folder as backup then just use it to overwrite the config folder. Reboot unraid. You should be good to go.

Do not use notepad. It uses Windows carriage returns that will not work under Unix. Use Notepad++.
