June 29, 201511 yr Hello, Last week my neighbors house was struck by lightning, unfortunately my house has suffered some electrical side effects as well with some dead devices; tvs, ps3, etc. My server is connected to a UPS, but I haven't been able to access it since the lightning storm. Through various different fact finding missions, I find myself now attempting to boot a trial version of Unraid just to be sure it will boot! Everything does seem to boot, but I'm still unable to access the server from the Web GUI. My working theory is that the onboard NIC has died (my network switch the server was connected to died in the storm). Can someone who is more familiar with Unraid logs have a look at the attached and see if you can confirm my theory? Thanks in advance! syslog.zip

June 30, 201511 yr Author Thanks for the help! The information you asked for is below. I also forgot to mention that I have already verified the port on my router and cabling are good by connecting another computer to them which was able to get a connection to the internet. ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Half Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000033 (51) Link detected: no ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:76:ad:f9:18 UP 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:20 Base address:0xe300 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 B) TX bytes:560 (560.0 B)
June 30, 201511 yr Been ther, done that! Happened to me a few years back. I even lost individual ports on some switches. In my case the router got fried and also one port on the patch panel that connected the router to the landline. I wouldn't beleave it when the technician told me but he was right. Then I was even more baffled when he described how he saw entire wall outlets/sockets popped out and burnt after lightning strike.
July 7, 201510 yr Author Just closing the loop on this in case anyone finds this thread and is in a similar situation. It did turn out to be the NIC that was the issue. I bought a new NIC, installed it and disabled the onboard NIC. After this it booted just fine and I'm able to access all drives and shares just like before the storm .
