I've currently got a Windows 8 vm running properly on my Unraid server, and am attempting to create a ubuntu vm to run as a torrent box. I've attempted both versions lts 16 and 14, and both have the same problem. During the setup, it says that the network autoconfiguration failed. I can then do a manual setup, and key in everything for a static IP. Problem is, once the installation is completed the system cannot access the network regardless. Is there a specific driver i have to install? The ubuntu section gives no dialog box for a virtio iso so I figured it was unecessary?

Please post your network configuration for unraid.  Are you running a network bridge?

Sorry for the delayed response, life caught up with me for a bit.

 

Here is a paste from the unraid network settings page:

 

Enable bonding: Yes

Bonding mode: balance-rr (0)

Bonding members: eth0, eth1

Enable bridging: Yes

IP address assignment: Automatic

IP address: 10.0.0.10

Network mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

DNS server assignment: Automatic

DNS server: 10.0.0.1

Enable VLANs: No

 

For the VM, I just selected Network bridge br0, same as I did for the Windows vm.

 

 

Thanks for any input.
