16gigs Ram
RAID0 with 4 drives
64bit mobo



For the life I can not seem to ping any sites within the GUI shell. Im certain that my plugins are not being populated is becasue of this. I am certain that I have my IP's correct and other pertinent info correct.

this is what I have:

in my router settings -
ip (gateway) 192.168.254.254
DNS Server 1: 8.8.8.8/ dns.google
DNS Server 2: 8.8.4.4/ dns.google
subnet: 255.255.255.0


settings in freenas:

populated in the Dashboard
Nic - re0
ip address of my freenas: 192.168.254.1
Default Routes: 192.168.254.254
name servers: 127.0.0.1 <------------- is this my problem? if so, how do i correct?

populated under global config
ip4v default gateway: 192.168.254.254
name Server 1: 8.8.8.8
name Server 2: 8.8.4.4

under interfaces:
interface: re0

name: y

media staus: Active

DHCP no

IPv6: no

IPv4 address: 192.168.254.1/24




Where have i gone wrong??

ping in shell shows: can not resolve google.com host name look up failure

I cannot tell you what you may have done wrongly. I will tell you what works for me and what I have see work for many others,

Don't set static IP address in FreeNAS - set in your router by assigning the address you want to the MAC address of your FreeNAS NIC.
In Network, Global Config, put your Gateway address in all 4 spots for: ipv4 default gateway, name server 1, 2, 3 .
Leave your router as is.
I'm not sure why you have any entries under Interfaces.

thanks for the help, RC.

I sat down at the console and decided to start from scratch. I simply reset the configuration file to default. I did this from the console setup screen after a reboot

As for some of my other settings that you mention, I think i might have read some wacky tutorials in my initial setup. arghhh!

anyway, my plugins now populate and I can now ping.


thanks again for some tips

cheers!

Like that. You found the problem without help :)

Just kidding. Most likely was a network misconfiguration that you got right the second time. Me? I'm lazy ... I set the MAC address on my router and FreeNAS to DHCP. That way I have a LAN Static IP and no configuration's to make on the server.
