Unraid not returning IP Address on boot

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

For some reason, my computer is not obtaining an IP address from the network when I boot up Unraid.  The system worked a while back, but has been turned off for several months.  When I started Unraid, I got the following message:

 

unRAID Server OS version: 6.8.2

IPv4 address: not set

IPv4 address: not set

 

Tower login: 

 

I did change the bonding to "no" and got the same message.  Attached is my log file.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can manually edit network.cfg and set a static IP address and see if the server boots properly with that.

 

To set a static IP address edit your network.cfg to look like this:

 

# Generated network settings
USE_DHCP="no"
IPADDR="10.1.18.xxx"  (make xxx a number you know is currently available on your network; like 150 or something high)
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
GATEWAY[0]="10.1.18.1"  (this is just an example, set this to the IP address of your router/DHCP server)
DNS_SERVER1="1.1.1.1"  (these are the cloudflare public DNS servers, you could also set them to google; 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
DNS_SERVER2="1.0.0.1"
BONDING="no"
BRIDGING="yes"

Hello,

 

After deleting the network.cfg and rebooting, the cfg file was not present.  I created a file, added the information above (changing what had to be updated) and now I get:

This site can’t be reached

192.168.1.5 took too long to respond.

Check network cable, try another known working cable. You could make a backup copy of your Unraid USB drive then download the Unraid USB creator tool from the website and do a fresh install of a newer version of Unraid and copy over the config folder from the backup copy to the fresh install except don't copy the old network.cfg.

Your diagnostics show Unraid v6.8.2 but you have v6.6.6 listed above. You have 2 nics? did you try both?

  • Author

Hello,

 

I do have 6.8.2 installed, that was from my original install.  I've replaced the network cable with a known good working cable. I've gone ahead and reinstalled unraid on the flash drive as I didn't have anything of importance before. I have the on-board nic and a 10g network card. I haven't tried the 10g connection as of yet, would take some time to finish setting things up to use it. So far I'm still not able to get it to work.

It must be going to the 10G NIC, remove it so you only have the 1 onboard NIC and make sure it is enabled in the bios.

Well I removed the 10G nic, on-board lan enabled in BIOS, same issue.  Tried a new flash drive, installed latest build, same issue.

Delete network.cff and network-rules.cfg also on flash/config and reboot, if still nothing please post new diags.

I am not seeing any signs that a NIC (Network Interface Controller/chip)  has been detected during the boot process.  What are you using for the  NIC? 

I should be using the onboard NIC on the motherboard.  I am admittedly a noob at this.  

  • Community Expert

If you are using a MB with a RealTek 8125 NIC on it, try the version 6.9.0-beta series as it has the new Linux kernel which contains the driver for that NIC.

  • Community Expert
e1000e: probe of 0000:00:1f.6 failed with error -2

 

NIC is failing to initialize, you can try -beta30 to see if works, but possibly not a driver issue.

Gave the beta a try with no success.   Thinking about just purchasing an add on 10 GB NIC to see if that helps at all

Any working add-on NIC will help, one that is supported by Unraid of course.
