May 17, 20251 yr Recently I had a power cut to my server (my foot unplugged it from the ups somehow) and now after a small while it seems to keep disconnecting from the network or more specifically it changes to this weird ip which isn't 192xxx. When I restart the server it goes back to its good ip which I have made static in the router (via mac address) but as stated before, only for a few minutes. I tried to set the ip to static within Unraid and that seemed to work for a few hours but then it actually disconnected from my network (not just ip change). It still showed the 192 ip in the cli which I think is only because its static so it doesn't necessarily mean its connected. Even on the router gui it showed the router as disconnected which is weird. I just had to nano to network.cfg in the Unraid cli to disable its static then I restarted so I can finally access guy again, but I don't know how long till it dies again. pls help. side note: now after the restart, I can access the guy but my router still says my Unraid isn't connected even though I think it is. The vm's are connected though so that's also odd. tower-diagnostics-20250517-2206.zip

You do not mention what the ‘strange’ ip address looks like in case that gives a clue? I would carefully check the cabling (as it sounds like a physical issue) in case a cable is not firmly seated.

I dont remember the ip unfortunately =(. I think it started with 169. It's not the cable or anything physical. Also it's been on for a whole day now and it hasn't shat the bed so maybe it's fine... fingers crossed.
