Strange behaviour/no newtork/

[Lelo5657]

Hi SpaceinvaderOne,
first thanks for your amazing work as well as introducing noobs and intersted people to unraid and its features!

Now to the issues:

1. As soon as I change something like the core count and run the Docker afterwards - i get no networkconnetction
   Logs:

Tried already reinstalling Docker (deleting all appdata etc) - tried all available CPU spoofing settings - no clue what I should do next -...

hmm I just removed the ventura install iso from my boot order and same issue. No more internet..
edit: I also set a vnc password so my real mac os screen sharing app can connect (cant connect without password).
Not working.
Restarting macinabox docker resets te password to blank and resets the removed ventura install iso. internet works again

[RezzZ]

if you update the VMs config check the following section of the VMs XML:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='ac:87:a3:c4:48:ad'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='virtio-net'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

make sure bus and slot are as above:
bus='0x00'
slot='0x03'

[SpaceinvaderOne]

Yes macOS needs the nic to be on

macOS has strict hardware compatibility and expects the NIC to be located at a particular PCI address. If the address is changed seems macOS doesn't associate the NIC with the expected kext.
One way around this is to passthrough a usb nic thats compatible and use that instead

[ajb3932]

if you update the docker config check the following section:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='ac:87:a3:c4:48:ad'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='virtio-net'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

make sure bus and slot are as above: bus='0x00' slot='0x03'

Changing the slot value worked for me! Thank you, saved me a lot of scratching around.

Although I changed the VM XML not the Docker XML.

[RezzZ]

Although I changed the VM XML not the Docker XML.

sorry, you are right, I was talking about the VMs XML. I updated my reply.
So when changing the VMs settings, always check the XML afterwards and change the interface part if the bus and slot changed.

[stephan1827]

I ran into the same issue. It seems like saving any setting on the VM page sets the slot to 0x00
