Smitty2k1 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone, I just moved and am now using Comcast's generic modem/router. At my old house I had an ASUS router and thought I had set a static IP for my unraid server through the router. However, it appears I had set the static IP in Unraid itself. I'm able to see the server (IPMI only) through my modem's WebGUI but the Unraid interface doesn't boot up because it can't resolve the IP. Old router used IP range 192.168.2.XXX, new router uses 10.0.0.XXX Fortunately I can connect via IPMI and therefore have command line control. How do I reset the IP so it just does DHCP?

Squid Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 edit /boot/config/network.cfg nano /boot/config/network.cfg Change the Use_DHCP line to be "no". CTRL-O saves, CTRL-X exits Then powerdown -r Alternatively, you can also powerdown the server, pull the stick and edit the same file on your desktop 1 Quote Link to comment

Back in action. Next step - get rid of this crappy Xfinity modem/router combo 1 Quote Link to comment
