February 10, 201016 yr Just trying it out to see if it will work on a Asus A7V880 mainboard (Via KT880 Chipset) I have available. It boots and gets to a login prompt. On my windows machine, I can ping tower and it responds fine. But I can not connect to it by typing //tower or http://tower/. Not even typing the ip address (http://192.168.1.24/) shown when pinging it works. I have no problem connecting to my router interface, just typing //wrt610n. Any ideas ? Thanks, Morten.
February 10, 201016 yr from the console confirm the IP address by logging in... default login root / no password once you have a prompt type ifconfig to show the ip address. You should be able to telnet to that address from something on the same network. if you can't telnet but it repsonds to pings... maybe you have a "dmz" setup on your router?? EDIT : Also check you don't have a proxy setup in IE.
February 10, 201016 yr Author OK, now trying it on my main PC, a intel P35 chipset. UnRaid boots fine here as well, but I still can not connect with the browser so must be something with the network (or me...) Lgging in as root and typing ifconfig, tells me it's got 192.168.1.20 Still, I can not connect to this address with IE or Firefox. No proxy in firefox, also tried from a PC without zonealarm. But here is the kicker - I can telnet it just fine! Why do I always get the really strange ones Ny network is nothing out of the ordinary, really. A Linksys WRT610N with the machines using it's built-in Gigabit switch.
February 10, 201016 yr Author More info : No DMZ in my router (as said, it is reallt quite standard, and currently standard formware in the router as well) When trying to connect with firefox, I see the "the connection was reset" error message almost immediatly when trying the correct IP address, whereas It takes a minute to come up if I try a random IP address. The full error message I get is here: The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
February 10, 201016 yr You may possibly have two computers on the same network with the same IP address. Also, if I remember correctly, there was mention of the MAC Address being added to the network config file and causing problems. You could try resetting the router and see if that helps. Also, plug the USB drive into a machine and take a look at the network config file to see if a hardware MAC address has been added; if it has delete it and try booting the flash in the machine you plan to use as the server.
February 10, 201016 yr You could try connecting them back to back if both machines have gigabit ethernet cards, that would rule out anything network related. Just plug a cable into both gigE cards, shouldn't need a x-over cable. You would need to do that after they booted and got a DHCP address. Retry the ping and http request.
February 10, 201016 yr Author No IP conflicts. My network.cfg oooks like this, I asume this is where any MAC address would be stated? # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=yes IPADDR= NETMASK= GATEWAY= Will give the straight over a try I think.
February 10, 201016 yr Author OK, I have now tried with the direct connection instead of going through the router. Have set up manual IP config, edited the network.cfg as follows: # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=no IPADDR=192.168.1.3 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 And manual IP on my windows box. Can telnet to tower and 192.168.1.3 fine. Can still not connect with the browser. This S¤%t is beyond be. I have downloaded the latest version (4.5.1) and followed the instructions closely. Please help !!!
February 10, 201016 yr Hmm. seems like something windoze related then. You could try telneting to the http port just to make sure its up and listening... telnet 192.168.1.3 80 You should get a flashing cursor if its working... if it isn't it will just say "Connecting to 192.168.1.3...." and then give an error.
February 10, 201016 yr You have not posted a syslog. It is the only way to know what is really happening. You might be misled by some other symptoms. If you type mount what do you see? If you type ls -l /boot what do you see? If you type ps -ef | grep emhttp | grep -v grep what do you see? If you type ls -l /dev/disk/by* what do you see? Instructions on how to capture a copy of the syslog are in the wiki under troubleshooting. Joe L.
February 10, 201016 yr Author Man, I thought this UNRAID stuff was supposed to be easy. I'm a complete linux virgin here, so please bear with me.

February 10, 201016 yr I do not see the "emhttp" process, either in the output of the "ps -ef" command, nor in the syslog. It is normally started by the file: config/go Type cat /boot/config/go It should only be a few lines long. I'm guessing the "go" files is either not there, or corrupt. You will not see the web-interface unless the management process is running. (It is named "emhttp" ) You can try to start it on the command line, just in case some other errors occur when it attempts to start, but don't try that unless you see the "go" script is in place in the config folder as expected. Type /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & to start it. As I said, you need to fix the "go" script. when the flash drive is mounted at /boot, the file would then be at /boot/config/go Joe L.
February 10, 201016 yr Author OK, I am glad to report this was no fault of UNRAID. I had used an ancient unrar app and it unpacked all but the go file. Thanks for the help, all !
February 10, 201016 yr OK, I am glad to report this was no fault of UNRAID. I had used an ancient unrar app and it unpacked all but the go file. Thanks for the help, all ! There are usually a few other files in the config folder... you might want to use a newer program to unzip the files to be sure. Have fun with your new server. Joe L.
