November 17, 2025Nov 17 Hey Friends!I added a 10gbit PCIe card to my nas, and set it up as br0/eth0. Bridging is enabled. Bonding is disabled.I’m noticing the unraid plugins can’t check for updates though. Fix common problems indicates it can’t connect to github and the DNS settings need updating. In network settings, I see this error in red at the bottom left of screen: Interface - Ethernet Port 1 is down. Check cable!I normally leave the unraid in auto dhcp, and then assign static IP at the router.Diagnostic attached. Any guidance is appreciated!servetux-diagnostics-20251116-1236.zip Edited November 17, 2025Nov 17 by TeddyTux clarifying
November 17, 2025Nov 17 Community Expert NIC is getting the address from DHCP, so it's likely using the router as the DNS server. If that is not working, you can try using 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 instead of using your router.
