December 31, 200916 yr I just finished building a new box (Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H 785G R // AMD Phenom II X2 550 AM3 3.1GHz RT // 4GB G.Skill DDR3) for Unraid Server. I downloaded and installed Unraid Server 4.5 on a Corsair 2GB Mini USB stick. The Unraid OS boots up without any problems as far as I can tell. However, when I try to log in to the Unraid Server from my Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit machine (Firefox 3.5.6) entering the address: //tower, I get an error that the page can't be found, try again. Logging in and running the command "ifconfig eth0" from the Unraid Server's console, shows that my D-Link Router has assigned 192.168.0.117 as the Unraid Server's IP address. If I enter that address from my Ubuntu system, I can successfully get to the Unraid Server's Management Utility. My Ubuntu firewall is set to allow all local IP addresses to access my Ubuntu computer. While I have several questions about setting up my drives, for this 1st post, my question is: can anyone tell me what is preventing me from accessing the Unraid Server with the address: //tower from my Ubuntu system? I have read the FAQs, the Troubleshooting Guide and some posts relating to a similar problem with MAC's, but they don't answer my specific problem. Thanks.

Your linux system might have something similar to the hosts file that the Mac has. If you can edit it in the same way then you can problem get //tower working in the web browser.
January 1, 201016 yr Your linux system might have something similar to the hosts file that the Mac has. The file is: /etc/hosts
January 2, 201016 yr Author Thanks, ProStuff1 and Purko. Editing the /etc/hosts file by adding the IP address and "tower" did the trick in Ubuntu. It seems that unRAID is designed to be accessed more easily from a Windows computer than a Linux or MAC.
January 3, 201016 yr Most home routers support DNS passthrough (generally clients refer to the gateway as DNS server) and will resolve local names even for *ix systems. That's probably a more reliable setup in the future. Next *ix system won't work until you remember to edit /etc/hosts.
