September 21, 20178 yr Hello, I recently setup a NAS unRAID system and am trying to set it up. I have gotten it installed but when trying to activate the trial key, it tells me it cannot connect to the key-server. I have the trial.key on the flash drive in the config file. I am able to navigate to the ip on my windows 10 desktop. I do not have an ethernet port available near the box, so its connected to my windows 10 desktop and the ethernet port is shared to it. Is there something im missing that i need to do for unRAID to be able to connect?
September 21, 20178 yr Does a shared ethernet connection give the device using the share it's own IP address?? (I've never done this!) Other than that, have you got any kind of additional access control set up on your router that blocks new connections until you authorise them?

My suspicion would be that this connection is the root of your problem. Why not try a $15 switch to provide more than one ethernet port. (Win10 has a lot of built-in protections against hacking...) EDIT: You could take the Win10 computer out of the picture by using its connection and boot to the Console GUI to get the trial key that way. (You could not reboot until you got a working Ethernet port dedicated for the server as it has to verify the trial license on any reboot!) Edited September 21, 20178 yr by Frank1940
