oksurb Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi y'all, Machine is up and running (no HDDs yet...they won't be here till next week), but I can't access "//tower" from my windows pc. I have tried wired and wireless. When wired, I can see activity on mi NIC in the server and the corresponding light on the router is lit. My ident.cfg looks like this: # Generated names NAME=Tower COMMENT="Media server" WORKGROUP=Workgroup localMaster=no smbPorts="445 139" timeZone=GMT-5 network.cfg looks like this: # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=yes IPADDR= NETMASK= GATEWAY= I have a DHCP server in the form of my wireless router. When I run ifconfig eth0 on the unRAID box I get a bunch of stuff back, but nothing that shows it's ip address. I think I actually reached the end of the internet searching for answers before I had to come begging, but here I am....begging. Can anyone push me a little further on this?!?! Much appreciated.

Helmonder Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Can you access the system thru IP ? Or is it not accessable at all ? Link to comment
oksurb Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Helmonder, I don't know how to find the ip address...ifconfig isn't returning it. Andy Link to comment
dgaschk Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 What does ifconfig return? Link to comment
Helmonder Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Your router hands them out in sequence, try it out.. What is the ip of your pc ? Link to comment
jowi Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 If your board has multiple lan connectors, try another one. Link to comment
oksurb Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 At the login I type: root Then ifconfig eth0 dgaschk, It returns: Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 14:da:e9:08:9a:c3 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:30 base address 0Xc000 Thanks, Andy Link to comment
oksurb Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 helmonder, At the moment I have 2 pcs, 2 phones and a tablet connected to my network. Not counting the unRAId box, naturally. When I ping I'm getting all kinds of hits so it's hard to tell. In the meantime went into my router log and I can see all of the devices (both wired and wireless) that have connected, but I am not seeing one that would be the unRAID box. My nic is flashing on the box and my router has a light in the port that its currently plugged into...like it's physically connected, but not logically being recognized by my wondows box? Thanks, Andy Link to comment
oksurb Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Jowi, My board (ASUS F1 A75V-PRO) seems to have only one lan connector. Thanks, Andy Link to comment

dikkiedirk Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Somehow you don't get IP-adres. Is your NIC supported? Or you have a bad LAN cable. What unraid version? Link to comment
oksurb Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 dgaschk ifconfig returns nothing ethtool eth0 returns: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000033 (51) Link detected: yes I think that's correct...thanks, Andy Link to comment

dikkiedirk Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 The first steps are the most difficult huh? I had succes with 5b14, 5b12a and 5.0 rc3. Didn't try the latest yet. Just rc5 Link to comment
oksurb Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Damn right! Ok...I'll try 5.0 rc3...thanks. Might have to break for a while, but I will do this later tonight and report back...thanks to all you guys...you're priceless! Andy Link to comment
oksurb Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Ok...booted with 5.0 RC3 Still couldn't get there with browser using //tower, but I can ping "tower" and it replies!!! So using that IP address, I CAN get there with the browser using the IP address...woohoo! Now just to figure out how to resolve the name "tower". I'll keep working on that. Thank you very much for all of your help, guys...invaluable!!! Andy Link to comment

Thank you very much for all of your help, guys...invaluable!!! Andy I suggest the latest version: unRAID Server 5.0-rc6-r8168-test2 AiO.zip , as earlier versions had MAJOR bugs in dealing with larger disks. Link to comment
oksurb Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Joe L. I have successfully booted with: unRAID Server 5.0-rc6-r8168-test2 AiO.zip. Seems to work ok...still can't access with "//Tower"...only IP address. Can anyone tell me if this is a problem? Do I need to resolve this or is it ok to only be able to access by IP address? Thanks, Andy Link to comment

Thanks, Andy If you set a static IP address on your unRAID server , there is a possibility that your router will NOT include the server name (Tower) in its table. In that case, you will have to use the IP address to get access to the server. Did you reserve the IP address in the router table to prevent the router from assigning that address to another machine via DHCP? Some people avoid this issue by assigning the static address at the top of the range since most (if not all) DHCP servers start at the bottom of the range. Link to comment
