Running Unraid 6.5.3, and I replaced a mesh router from asus with a linksys routerWRT 32X, and restarted my server a couple of times, think I may have put it into an unclean shutdown.  Windows 10 network discovery is not finding my server.  Can not map a new drive either.  the previous ip address that I used to connect to my tower was, 192.168.72.39.  

Can you get to the webUI?

I can not get to the webui like before

I have a keyboard, mouse and monitor connected to my tower and the ip address comes back as 192.168.72.39 when I try and login to the tower through the server itself

Are you trying to get to the WebGUI on a locally attached monitor or via the network?   it is likely that the new router is going to mean a new IP is required.   You could try deleting (or renaming) the network.cfg file in the config folder on the USB drive to revert to default network settings (which would use DHCP) and should give you an IP address compatible with the new router.

but when I paste that ip address into my windows browse, cant reach page is displayed

 

Ive never used webgui other than on my windows 10 compter, can I access the webgui directly onto the tower?

Yes if you have a locally attached keyboard + monitor.   When the boot menu is displayed you can select the option to boot into GUI mode to get a GUI on the locally attached monitor.

So, unplug my usb drive from the tower, and move it to my windows compter, and look for network.cfg and try renaming is to network.old.  Then place the usb back into tower, and restart.  Only 2 ways Ive ever restarted my unraid tower, 

 

1.  webgui, and stopping/reboot

2.  Power button on the tower, which creates a dirty shutdown.

 

Is there a way to shut down my unraid server at the tower prompt?

Ive never used the webgui directly onto my unraid server.  Ive only used the webhui on my windows 10 pc via web browser.  Not sure what I would type to bring up the webgiu on the tower with attached keyboard, mouse, monitor

powerdown

 

Do you know what the IP address is of any of the other computers on your network since the router change?

 

OK, I rebooted my tower into gui mode, now Im trying to figure out the username/password

Same as you used before when using the webUI from your PC.

 

username = root

password blank unless you have set one

I do.  The old router was assigning ip addresses in the 192.168.72.??? range.  My new Linksys router assigns ip addresses in the 192.168.2.??? range.  For example, I set my windows 10 pc to a static ip address and it is 192.168.2.2

That is the problem. You're all on a different network than your server. Just follow the advice about getting back to the default network.cfg so it will get a new IP from the router.

Where are these instructions that you are mentioning.

typo, I was able to log into the webgui on the unraid tower.  I thought for sure it was going to be doing a parity check or it was offline.

 

I can confirm, the ip address of my unraid server is 192.168.72.39.  My new router is assigning ip address from 192.168.2,100 -  192.168.2.255 range

As we thought. So do what we suggested.

This is why I prefer to assign static IPs in the router, and leave all of my network systems set up as DHCP.

What I do too. That way everything is managed in one place, but I still have control and can easily lookup what everything on the network is using.

 

 

can I rename the network.cfg file on the usb drive through the webgui interface, or do I need to move the usb file over to my windows computer and rename it there
