September 11, 201015 yr I just finished building, and I have it all set up and running. I have it connected to my network switch. My computer that I am trying to access it with is a Vista operating system. I put in "\\tower" and I end up getting a website call tower.com. If I do a "ifconfig" on the console, it says that the ip is 127.0.0.1, and if I enter that, I get an error that server can't be found. I don't have a "DHCP", I normally only use Static Ip's for everything. I read about setting the Ip to static but I don't know how to edit the "config/network.cfg" file on my Usb boot drive. I have also tried to telnet into it, and it can't connect. Could someone tell me how to make my network work? Or what other info is need from me, so that I can figure this out.
September 11, 201015 yr Remove the USB stick from the server and stick it in a windows box. Edit the network.cfg file in the config folder. Use an editor that is Linux friendly (line feeds at the end of lines - I use EditPad Lite). I also use static ip addresses, below is a copy of my network.cfg file. # Generated settings: USE_DHCP=no IPADDR=192.168.0.160 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 HWADDR=00:30:48:B0:A7:33 DHCP_KEEPRESOLV=no DNS_SERVER1=68.94.156.1 DNS_SERVER2=68.94.157.1 DNS_SERVER3=

It is a way to change the MAC address. You can delete it. In the same way, normally the router is the DNS server. If you configure as in the example it may go to the ISP DNS server first for everything and slow things down. In this example I'd try the router's IP as the DNS_SERVER DNS_SERVER1=192.168.0.1 DNS_SERVER2= DNS_SERVER3= and see if it improves any.
September 11, 201015 yr Author Thank you BOTH very much!! I am now able to access the UnRaid box. I just used this info and then changed the ip and mask to match what everything else on my system was using and now it works. This true is a great and helpful forum. Again thank you, I would not have been able to anything like this without this kind of help!
