Hello all,
I've been researching this for the past five hours and have not been able to figure this out.
I have a supermicro atx x11-f which has two Ethernet ports on it. I would like to use one of the ports for router connection and the other for direct connection to my mac. When booting my FreeNAS with both Ethernet cables plugged in, the FreeNAS says I can connect via 0.0.0.0 and 10.0.0.99. The latter always works, the former does not.
I've tried a couple of things: changing the former IP address to 10.0.1.4 (read on many threads that changing subnets is important), but every time I do that, both connections stop working. After resetting the network configs, I then tried using the Web UI to add a network Ethernet interface. My FreeNAS would then disconnect. I'd reboot via the CLI but it still wouldn't work.
The weird thing is that when I go to System Preferences on Mac and try to change my own IP address to the same thing (say, 10.0.1.4), it says that that IP address is already in use, which means the server is alive and well on my network. I just can't access the files.
Is there something on the Mac side that I should be doing? I'm using DHCP with Manual Address on the Ethernet pref pane. Please help! I know I'm a noob.
