(SOLVED AM AN IDIOT) LAN, but no internet access, after reboot.

Turned off server, moved it, turned it back on, and it can connect to the network fine, and i can access it from all computers on the network, but it can't access the internet at all.

Nothing has changed at all apart from being turned off and moved. Probably a different network cable, but it would have been a network cable that worked before.

Oh, another thing i tried was changing DHCP to yes, and /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart, but it just assigned me an ip way out of the range you'd expect (ie, not 192.168.1.*), and ping instantly failed with "connect: network not reachable"

omg disregard this

 

my friend's phone connected to wifi before i plugged the server in, and stole the static ip.

The DHCP server on most routers allows you to reserve an IP for a specific MAC address (e.g. the one for the unRAID server).  Doing so stops it ever being allocated to a different client and thus stops such collisions from happening.    Alternatively set the static IP for unRAID to be outride the range allocated by the DHCP server.

Generally, you can assign a DHCP range on the router, too. I've got mine set to 100-255 and reserve 0-99 for static IPs.

 

Oh, and it's generally only after you've made a public fool of yourself that you realize the very simple mistake.   It's happened to all of us...
