Hello,

 

I just built a new server, my third. However this time I can't get it to get on my local network. I am using 6 beta 12 as on one of my other servers and am using the onboard Lan, a realtek RTL8111G. One of my other servers has a realtek RTL8111E and has no problems at all. I can connect to the internet through the bios and update the firmware on my board, an asrock H81M-HDS.

I had a problem a couple weeks back when I replaced a board on another of my servers and the nic would not connect to my network. It was an intel nic and updating from unraid 5 to 6 beta 12 solved that problem.

 

My network.cfg file on the new server is the same as on my two other servers in my home:

 

# Generated settings:

USE_DHCP="no"

IPADDR="10.0.1.16"

NETMASK="255.255.255.0"

GATEWAY="10.0.1.1"

DHCP_KEEPRESOLV="no"

DNS_SERVER1="10.0.1.1"

DNS_SERVER2=""

DNS_SERVER3=""

 

the only difference in the network.cfg files are that the other two servers are:  10.0.1.16 and 10.0.1.17

the new server is assigned 10.0.1.15

 

ethtool eth0  comes back with no connection detected.

 

any help or ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

Some confusion here....  It appears that you have two servers assigned the same IP address.

no, but good catch. That is just a copy of the file from one of the other servers.

 

I have three different ip addresses on the servers

 

10.0.1.15

10.0.1.16

10.0.1.17

 

Thanks

 

 

By the way, I have also set my servers with assigned IP addresses but I always assign them near the TOP of that allowable range of addresses.  That way the auto assigning of IP addresses by the router will never generate a conflict.

 

Plus some routers (like the cheap one that I use) do not do a good job of keeping track of the assigned IP addresses which increases the probability of a conflict ten fold!  In any cases, you have to manually added the addresses to a table and the table is limited in the number that it tracks.

I just realized I probably should have posted this in the unraid 6 general questions. So, I am moving this/reposting this topic over in that section......

 

thanks
