October 6, 20205 yr After I setup Unraid on an old computer I assigned a static IP address based on the MAC address (192.168.X.X). When I look at the client list in my router (ASUS AX88U), the Unraid server shows as having and IP address of 169.254.X.X instead of 192.168.X.X. Also, when I hover over the Unraid server in the client list I see a message that "2 clients are connected through this device". I don't know if this is related. I can access the server by typing in 192.168.X.X on another machine, so what gives? Edited October 6, 20205 yr by Barb

October 6, 20205 yr Community Expert Addresses in the 169.254.x.x range are normally associated with being unable to get a DHCP address for the interface in question. I would not normally ever expect such addresses to be seen at the router level so not sure why you see this.
