February 11, 200917 yr Hey all, I posted this at AVforums but saw this forums as well, hopefully it's okay to post here as well.... I slapped in a 10/100 card to test with since my onboard isnt supported on 2.6.24. The card is not pulling a DHCP address for whatever reason so I followed the manual and put the flash into my pc, opened network.cfg and edited it to say NO and put the IP, mask and gateway. I put the flash back in, booted unraid and typed ifconfig -a but the IP is still missing. When unraid boots I can type dhcpcd and it pulls an IP via dhcp but I cant connect to the server in my browser. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Also note that when I do dhcpcd I CAN ping it from my windows machine but still no dice on the browser thanks for any help!
February 12, 200917 yr Can you show us what the ifconfig command gives you? Also the result of the ethtool eth0 and lsmod commands, and the contents of the network.cfg and ident.cfg files. Your syslog might also be helpful, so please see my sig for the Troubleshooting link, for help with capturing a syslog. Currently, forum attachments are not working, so you will need to use an online file upload site, such as: http://pastebin.com/ http://www.mediafire.com/ One other small idea, your post indicates you put NO into network.cfg, whereas mine has USE_DHCP=no. Try a lowercase no, just in case...

This is what I see when I boot up normally without running dhcpcd command: ifconfig -a gives Eth0 Link Encap: Ethernet HWaddr:my MAC Broadcast Multicast MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets, Errors, dropped overruns and frame all 0 TX is same as RX, 0's collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX and TX bytes = 0 Lo : Local Loopback all is the same as above except MTU is 16436 and txqueuelen is 0 ---------------------------------------------------- ethtool eth0 Settings for Eth0: Supported ports: [TP MII] Supported link modes: 10/half, 10/full, 100/half, 100/full Supports auto-negotiation: yes Advertised link modes: same as supported Advertised auto-negotiation: yes speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: full port: MII PHYAD:1 transceiver: internal auto-negotiation: on Supports wake-on: g wake-on: g current msg level: 0x00000007 (7) link detected: yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lsmod Module size used by e100 28812 mii 4096 1 e100 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- network.cfg # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=no IPADDR=192.168.1.200 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 ------------------------------------------------------ ident.cfg # Generated names NAME=Tower COMMENT="Media server" WORKGROUP=Mshome localMaster=no smbPorts="445 139" timeZone=GMT+8 ---------------------------------------- And finally....syslog.... edit - crap, I just tried all 3 methods in the troubleshooting guide to create a syslog and none show up on the flash. Yes I have it set to view hidden system files. The 3rd method gives : cannot create regular file 'mnt/disk1/syslog.txt': No such file or directory this is bad...isn't it......
February 12, 200917 yr The 3rd method gives : cannot create regular file 'mnt/disk1/syslog.txt': No such file or directory This would be because there is either no Disk 1, or the array has not been started. I just tried all 3 methods in the troubleshooting guide to create a syslog and none show up on the flash. This sounds like it did not find /boot, which indicates that unRAID did not fully boot, probably because of a simple prep issue. Are you sure that your flash drive is prepared correctly? One of the simplest issues is not setting the Volume Label of the flash drive to exactly UNRAID, 6 uppercase letters. The lsmod command is not seeing any disk drivers, unless you did not type them in. It does have the network driver, and everything looks like it is ready to setup the network, and a link beat is detected, but if it did not find the flash drive correctly, and mount it as /boot, then the networking will not finish its setup. It can't find /boot/config/network.cfg and /boot/config/ident.cfg. For more help with flash drive preparation, see USB Flash Drive Preparation. What were a few of the last messages on the console, before you logged in?
February 12, 200917 yr Author Wow....good job man.... So I was previously trying 4.3.3 and the flash was setup with the right name, file structure etc. Just for the heck of it after your last post I decided to start from scratch but saw they released 4.4.2 so used that this time instead. Thing boots up....I try pinging it...it pings....ok hey lets try //tower....bingo!! So now I can get to //tower......now what hehe
