169 IPv4 Address on Boot, IPv6 not set - Installation Issues

Featured Replies

Hello, I am new to unRAID and trying to set up my server.

 

Every time I boot, the process provides a 169 IP address under IPv4 and the IPv6 address is "not set"

 

I've looked everywhere, and it seems like people with similar issues have been related to the USB.

  • My Motherboard is an ASRock x370 Gaming Pro.
  • Internet, while only 1 GB / sec seems to properly be linked to modem / activity link LEDs are active
  • USB is 32GB SanDisk Cruzer Fit set to FAT32 and unRAID version is 6.8.2
  • I used unRAID USB Creator for Windows to make the boot USB. I also tried again after running the "Make Bootable" Batch file as admin.
  • When I enter "root" at login on the server, it just goes to "root@Tower:~#" and it is not accessible via Web GUI.
  • Same result in multiple USB ports
  • I've tried editing the Network Config to make "Bonding" set to "No" and same results

Since all of the motherboard ports seem to be USB 3.0, I just ordered a new 4 port USB 2.0 slot plate adapter to try that. Does anyone have any other suggestions to try?

 

Thank you for your help!

The 169 address is what happens when it doesn't get an address from DHCP. Can your router see your server?

It might be worth posting the output of the 'df' command so we can see it the USB stick is being mounted at Boot

If you don't boot in GUI mode then you get the command line on an attached monitor, so that might be normal.

Thank you for your support! Attached are the diagnostics of different boot attempts I've done (base network config, deleted network config, network config edited based on one of the comments of a similar post, and latest boot attempt).

 

I also attached a picture of the "df" command (didn't know how to copy that over to my windows computer).

 

I have a netgear modem going to a 5 port unmanaged switch with one output to my google wifi mesh network and another going to my server. The motherboard has both a 5G port and a gigabit port. I've attempted to boot using both.

 

Not too experienced with this kind of stuff, so I'm not too sure how to check/edit Bios/Drivers.

Should I boot in GUI mode or one of the safe modes rather than just base unRAID OS? See above diagnostics, etc.
