October 19, 20205 yr Hi Guys, I just updated to a new mainboard/cpu and it seems I can't get a network connection. Running unraid 6.8.3. I tried resetting the network.cfg and also tried different dhcp/static settings. Nothing works - booting windows immediately connects to the router. current diagnostics attached - what can I do? knowlage-diagnostics-20201020-0207.zip
October 19, 20205 yr Community Expert Most likely, your new MB has a NIC that the current stable version does not have a driver for. The beta version 6.9.0-beta 30 most likely does have the required driver. Shut the server down. Make a complete backup of the boot/flash drive. Then use the LimeTech UBS Creator tool to format your flash drive with the beta version. Now copy over the config folder/directory from the backup. Now boot the server.
October 19, 20205 yr Author Seems like that does the job, but I don't feel very 'save' running a beta. Any way to include the driver into a stable build?
October 19, 20205 yr Community Expert The NAS portion of this beta is quite stable. Most of the problems are in the VM area. But, of course, the decision is up to you. I seem to recall that someone did built a package which allows the driver (not sure if it was the Linux one or the manufacturer's one) to be installed in the current stable version. I would suggest that you google for it and use unraid.net as one of your search terms.
