Ok, so I decided I want to move past WHS and use Unraid for my 1000+ movies and tv shows.

I've been lurking for awhile and researching and got a pretty good build.  I'm using x9scm-f, downloaded the rc10 release.  Formatted lexar firefly 8 GB stick and copied the rc10 contents to it.

Booted up, looks good.  Did ifconfig and no ip address.  So its not seeing the network.  I went into network.cfg and gave it a static ip,etc. entered that in browser but still not accessible.

Also tried //Tower, nothing.  I can see a contents list of the usb stick and so I know its mounted.  Next going to wipe stick again and do over.

Any other suggestions.  Im eager to get this going and buy the pro license, so any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Try the other ethernet port.

I'll try that when I get home.  However, I did try the stick on my win7 computer with same result, so I don't think its the port.

What is the output of?

 

ethtool eth0

 

ifconfig eth0

Try the other ethernet port.

 

Well as simple as that sounds that worked.  Strange.

Thanks

It isn't that strange.... unRAID only configures the first port (eth0).

Not strange at all. The first port unraid detects on this particular board happens to be the second port. Unraid stops trying after the first port it finds, not that it always is the listed number 1 port on the board.

Gotcha.  As a Windows user I've never had to worry about this.  Good to know.  Thanks guys
