Hey guys I am new to this and I am setting up a new UNRAID 6 box.  The first box I set up worked like a charm.  However I wanted bigger and faster. 

 

The problem is when it boots up it is not pulling a IP from my DHCP server.

 

if I do a ifconfig eth0 the status is UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, MULTICAST. 

I can see the Mac address but it will not pull an IP.  I am on my 3rd NIC.  At first I thought it was the NIC but since have been to MicroCenter 3 times and gotten 3 different brands.

 

Can anyone help.  Please keep in mind that I am Microsoft Engineer and not very good in Linux/Unix commands.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

UPDATE...  I took the NIC out of my working UNRAID Box that was working with no problems and still no luck.  I have disabled the onboard nic.  for the life of me I can't figure out why it won't get an IP. If I connect my laptop into that same port I have no problem at all...

 

 

Where are you seeing the MAC address? On the router?

 

Are you sure you have Settings - Network Settings set to "Obtain IP address automatically"?

No I don't see the mac address on my router..

 

What is the command to enable DHCP from root

 

 

 

If you can't get to the webGUI of unRAID, you can manually edit config/network.cfg on the flash drive. Be sure to use an editor that saves Linux line-endings correctly, such as notepad++
