February 28, 20251 yr I've just started on a journey to set up unRAID for my Plex server but I'm running into issues getting it going. I created the USB Boot Drive with unRAID's tool without issue, plugged it in, turned it on, and after running through some terminal stuff, I see: Unraid Server OS version: 7.0.1 IPv4 address: not set IPv6 address: not set Media login: Here are some troubleshooting steps I've tried: Booted to a Windows drive on the same machine and was able to connect to the internet, so I presume my router/cable/NIC are good In the network.cfg file I set bonding = "no" which resulted in getting a 168.* ip address, which didn't work and I believe is just a generic IP address when it doesn't received one properly Deleted my network.cfg file. It created a new one that had several more lines of settings than the original one, but still behaved the same way (no IP) Checked my router's clients list and don't see anything listed for it (but I do when I was booted to Windows)

So would I download those drivers to my unraid thumb drive, then go into the GUI and there will be a Plugin page there?
February 28, 20251 yr Community Expert Sorry, just download the .plg file and put it in config/plugins on your flash drive.
February 28, 20251 yr Community Expert No that won't work either because the .plg has to download the driver. Duh! Do you have another NIC you can use to get started with? You'd really be better off with an Intel NIC anyway.
February 28, 20251 yr Author I don't have another one I can install on me. If I had to I could purchase one? Could I grab the driver from here and install it somehow? https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=584
February 28, 20251 yr Author Well, that appears to be a no. Guess I need to find another NIC somehow...
February 28, 20251 yr Community Expert You could try booting the flash drive in another machine that normally runs another OSand as long as you do not try to assign any drives it will leave that machines drives alone. That might allow you to get an online connection to download the plugin and its files onto the flash drive.
