I have not been able to to connect to the set up screen for unraid since it has been giving me self assign ips 169.xxx.xxx.xxx. I first thought it was my USB so I got a different one from the recommended hardware a sony storage media, the first one was the kingston traveler. I was still getting the same self assigned ip. A friend of mine told me that maybe its because my mobo nic has no support,  So I bought a new nic that is in the recommended list an still its giving me self assign ips. I turn off bonding which then started giving me  "ip address not set" I even turn off DHCP and gave it a static ip and I still getting "ip address not set."

 

any help will be appreciated.

Check all cables and ports both ends.

Ok, I check both ports on the card and two ports on the router and I check it again with a seperate cable. 

 

on the top of the photo its telling me that "error : Nexthop has invalid gateway" can this be an issue?

So after looking after the invalid gate I looked inside the network file and my router to see what static ip I gave it looks like I gave it the wrong Ip an the netmask was wrong as well so I correct that. now that the ip is correct I am still unable to connect.

And what does ethtool say now? Before it was indicating you had a hardware problem.

adding more info

While restarting the machine I do notice that both ports lights are on. But right before the boot process ends both lights would go off.

I am able to connect to the motherboard with its own IP address. while I am still unable to connect to unraid with the given ip.

By connect to the motherboard, do you mean IPMI on a different port?

Yes i am able to connect IPMI, I am currently trying to find out on what port it is under. So are you thinking that IPMI and unraid on conflicting on ports?

 

Do you have any recommendations to finding the  ports associated to ip?

asking question

Normally if a motherboard supports IPMI then that is on a different physical LAN connection to normal ethernet use.    Does your motherboard have another LAN port, and if so have you tried connecting that as well to your router?

Yes i do have another port available. I will connect the other port to the router. I won't be able to give an update until IPMI firmware updates. Unless i don't need to restart the motherboard

I do not know the motherboard but I suspect just plugging in the other port may well be enough.

Yup that fix it. I didn't even see the other port. I have the unraid trail signup page running. Thank you @itimpi @trurl for all the help.

IPMI is handled completely within the BIOS of the board so it is reasonable that is not visible at the Unrsid level.
