I wound not expect a DHCP allocated IP Address to change on reboot of a device.</P> Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:15:47 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/UnRaid-server-not-connecting-to-the-router/m-p/2017786#M42530 Dan_the_Van 2025-08-21T15:15:47Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/UnRaid-server-not-connecting-to-the-router/m-p/2017788#M42532 <P>Plusnet &nbsp;hub 2&nbsp;</P> <P>I have tried DHCP on the server, also tried changing IP, resetting the router etc.</P> <P>a laptop on the cable to the router connects to the network and internet, so cable is good!</P> <P>This server has been off since before I joined Plusnet so has not been on this router before but worked fine on my previous ISP’s router!</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:24:14 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/UnRaid-server-not-connecting-to-the-router/m-p/2017788#M42532 Melbul 2025-08-21T15:24:14Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/UnRaid-server-not-connecting-to-the-router/m-p/2017791#M42534 <P>Does this UnRaid run a linux distro or something else.</P> <P>Is there a way of checking the cable has been detected by the network interface either by a GUI or a terminal when connected?</P> <P>A linux terminal should allow the command<STRONG><EM> ip link show</EM></STRONG></P> <P>A command response with no cable connected</P> <LI-CODE lang="markup">&lt;network port name&gt; &lt;NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 3c:18:a0:d5:74:ab brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff </LI-CODE> <P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:44:55 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/UnRaid-server-not-connecting-to-the-router/m-p/2017791#M42534 Dan_the_Van 2025-08-21T15:44:55Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/UnRaid-server-not-connecting-to-the-router/m-p/2017792#M42535 <P>Unfortunately I cannot look at the moment, work and wife call!</P> <P>I shall get back to it after the weekend.</P> <P>thanks for the reply and pointers!</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>mel.</P> Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:51:55 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/UnRaid-server-not-connecting-to-the-router/m-p/2017792#M42535 Melbul 2025-08-21T15:51:55Z
