March 9, 201016 yr If i leave dhcp on or off. or I set a ip in the config file. When I type IFConfig. the ip addy i get is only 127.0.0.1 Not exactly sure. I have tried this with my dsl modem as well as on my netgear modem. and i get the same results Any ideas as to why I am unable to connect to this? would having no hdd's hooked up at the moment cause this? Thanks

Thanks Usually it is because you did not set the volume label on the unRAID USB Flash-drive to "UNRAID," (6 letters, all capital) or your networking chipset is not supported, or your cabling to the router defective. Since you did not post a syslog, we cannot distinguish which it might be. It has nothing to do with not having disks assigned. You must have a dhcp server somewhere on your LAN to have it assign an IP address, otherwise, you must assign a static one in the same subnet as the other PCs on your LAN.
March 9, 201016 yr If i leave dhcp on or off. or I set a ip in the config file. When I type IFConfig. the ip addy i get is only 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 is the address of "localhost" Every single PC with a network card in the world probably has that exact same IP address used to reference itself internally.

March 9, 201016 yr Author me being a windows dummy and only slightly into linux. named it UNRaid. lol. so that may be it. i will rename and give it another try EDIT: that didnt change anything an dim not seeing a syslog file on my thumb drive
March 9, 201016 yr me being a windows dummy and only slightly into linux. named it UNRaid. lol. so that may be it. i will rename and give it another try EDIT: that didnt change anything an dim not seeing a syslog file on my thumb drive Instructions on capturing a syslog are in the wiki under troubleshooting. You will need to reboot for the flash drive to be properly identified and loaded.
March 9, 201016 yr here's the pastebin copy of my syslog http://pastebin.com/QZr4dXpF Shawn Your network chipset seems to be identified Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: e100: Intel© PRO/100 Network Driver, 3.5.24-k2-NAPI Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: e100: Copyright© 1999-2006 Intel Corporation There seems to be some interrupt conflict on IRQ 22. Might need to add a boot code irqpoll to syslinux.cfg Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: irq 22: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: Pid: 634, comm: udevd Not tainted 2.6.32.9-unRAID #1 Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: Call Trace: Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c1045157>] __report_bad_irq+0x2e/0x6f Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c104528d>] note_interrupt+0xf5/0x13c Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c104599c>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0x5f/0x9d Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c1004a82>] handle_irq+0x1a/0x24 Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c1004285>] do_IRQ+0x40/0x96 Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c1002f29>] common_interrupt+0x29/0x30 Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c10360cf>] ? down_read_trylock+0x13/0x21 Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c1016f43>] do_page_fault+0xb3/0x1e4 Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c1016e90>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x1e4 Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c129cd0e>] error_code+0x66/0x6c Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c1016e90>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x1e4 Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: handlers: Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c119cc57>] (ide_intr+0x0/0x1c7) Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: [<c119cc57>] (ide_intr+0x0/0x1c7) Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: Disabling IRQ #22 The network chipset does not detect any network connection here: Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower logger: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower logger: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower ifplugd(eth0)[1239]: ifplugd 0.28 initializing.

March 10, 201016 yr Author wierd okay thanks i will try a new cable/setup tomorrow and let you guys know what i come up with. Shawn
March 10, 201016 yr Author I just tried. new d-link router and a new cable i know works. same results. the lights on the mobo are not even blinking for a connection and the light on the router is not lighting up. so im thinking the software is not even seeing the motherboards onboard nic?

It appears as if it is seeing it according to these entries in the syslog: Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: e100: Intel© PRO/100 Network Driver, 3.5.24-k2-NAPI Mar 9 04:50:54 Tower kernel: e100: Copyright© 1999-2006 Intel Corporation I suspect the cable... as you said, the lights must "light up" Even though you think the cable is good, try a different cat5e cable.

March 10, 201016 yr Author i have tried 3 i even pulled the one off my working desktop oddly i was using this pc as a win 7 machine only two weeks ago. i mean i guess the port could be dead? but those are some strange odds. if I stick in a nic card.w ill it find it? or willt he onboard cause troubles?

You can disable the onboard one in the BIOS.
March 10, 201016 yr Author i'll boot win 7 back up on it since i saved the hdd. and see if the net works. i may need to find a gbit nic and try that. any specific ones I should aim for to work with unraid or am i pretty good with most brands?
March 10, 201016 yr If i leave dhcp on or off. or I set a ip in the config file. When I type IFConfig. the ip addy i get is only 127.0.0.1 I apologise if this is a noob question, but what is a "addy"? It is slang for address

March 10, 201016 yr Author Okay so im starting to think its not seeing the nic?? I'm somewhat confused. I hook up my win 7 hdd and boot and have full net/network access
March 10, 201016 yr Okay so im starting to think its not seeing the nic?? I'm somewhat confused. I hook up my win 7 hdd and boot and have full net/network access That's strange because Intel's e100 works quite relliably with unRAID. Did do anything about that interrupt conflict you had? Did you try booting with the irqpoll option as Joe suggested?
March 12, 201016 yr Author i will look up the irqpoll and give it a try next. No I hdan't tried it. I'll have a look in the wiki Shawn
March 12, 201016 yr Author I added in the append irqpoll no change here's a new syslog http://pastebin.com/1KBKwZVM thoughts?
March 12, 201016 yr I added in the append irqpoll no change here's a new syslog http://pastebin.com/1KBKwZVM thoughts? Syslog doesn't doesn't look like you did: Mar 11 09:13:05 Tower kernel: Kernel command line: initrd=bzroot BOOT_IMAGE=bzimage Mar 11 09:13:05 Tower kernel: irq 22: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Check the Boot_Codes wiki. When you edited the 'syslinux.cfg', did you plug that usb flash key into another computer? And if so, then did you remove it properly afterwards? Or did you just pluck it out of the slot?
March 12, 201016 yr Author i added that bit of code.. but i plucked it... would that cause my issues?
March 12, 201016 yr i added that bit of code.. but i plucked it... would that cause my issues? But of course. That can do a lot of damage to its filesystem. To remove it properly, click on the Safely Remove Hardware tool tray icon and select your Flash drive to be safely removed.
