July 25, 201510 yr Just wired my house in cat 6. Have a little rack set up with a patch panel and switch. Relocated my unraid server to the shelf in the laundry where this gear is. The server still shows the same IP address as before i moved it because i set it as static, 192.168.0.12 When i type in ipconfig eth0 it still shows as same address. when i type this in on the network on my pc it wont find it. Everything is connected fine, everything works etc. Not sure why this is happening. I haven't changed any setting since i moved it so im a bit unsure.
July 25, 201510 yr Are your other devices on the 192.168.0.x subnet? Can you ping anything from unRAID, if yes, internal/external, or both? Does the port on you're connecting unRAID to on the switch or router light up? If multiple switches/routers, are the ports further along lit up? This is probably a networking issue.
July 25, 201510 yr Author my unraid server is a gen 8 hp microserver. it has 2 lan ports and it was in number 2. I put it into lan 1 port and reset it and its fine now. Dont know if that was the issue but all good now.

This is not a problem UNLESS the board has two ports and you plug the cable into the wrong one.
