July 26, 2025Jul 26 So, I was wanting to update the DNS server setting in unRaid now that I have my OPNsense box all set up pointing to Quad 9.In unRaid, it says stop VM and Docker services to apply changes. So, I did. Now I cannot access the server via http/s. I also cannot ping the server and, obviously, no SSH. However, strangely, my switch shows the machine connected with my usual IP.I cannot access, the gui, any drives, any services, nada.I should add that my DHCP server does NOT show this machine's address.I can login locally, thankfully. ifconfig shows eth0 as nothing, but br0 is my usual IP.I am staring at a command prompt wondering what to do next.I've been trying some things to no avail: Edited July 26, 2025Jul 26 by ncunraider
July 27, 2025Jul 27 Community Expert You are likely to get more informed feedback if you attach your system's diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread (which can be done from the console after logging in).It is always a good idea to do this to allow us to see the current state of your system and so we can see logs.
July 27, 2025Jul 27 Community Expert You can also just delete/rename /config/network.cfg on the flash drive to go back to default DHCP.

I will definitely endeavor to do so if/when I have other issues.In the end, I solved this by starting the GUI on a connected monitor and restarting the VMs and Docker. After that, I was back in business. I'm left with no idea how stopping those two services would kill all connections to the machine.Thanks for the suggestion and help.

There are many ways you could have set up your server to depend on itself to be accessible. Edited July 27, 2025Jul 27 by Kilrah
