Repeated Renew of IP address - SOLVED

[OrangeLoon]

*Full Disclosure - Nubie Linux & Unraid User *

I have an intermittent problem I don't understand.  Periodically the Unraid system is renewing it's IP address ever minute or so.  After a reboot the problem goes away but raises it's ugly head from time to time.  The server is hardwired into the router and I have about 25 devices (wired and WiFi) running on the router but only the Unraid does this.  Any suggested would be appreciated. 

Here is a sample of the log from the Router (1C:1B:0D:A9:F7:9C is the unraid server):

Post up the Unraid diagnostics file in a new post!     Tools    >>>    Diagnostics 

[Frank1940]

WE do need the Diagnostics AFTER you have had the problem.  Please indicate the approximate time and date of the problem occurrence when posting.

 

EDIT: You could also try a static IP address for the server.

Did not know about the Diagnostics - thanks for info.  I have changed the IP to static and will re-post w/diagnostics if the issue happens again.  Thanks for the help.

[Frank1940]

Do make sure that you register the IP address with the router as 'Static'.

[OrangeLoon]

Static address worked however, now another computer is doing the same thing.  Bottom line is it is not an UnRaid problem.  Thanks for your help.
