(Solved) Moved - New Router - Reset Static IP


Recommended Posts

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?

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

I think you mean use DHCP to be "yes" but other than that your instructions worked great and were the EXACT level of detail I needed :)

 

Thanks! Back in action.

 

Next step - get rid of this crappy Xfinity modem/router combo
