JUST CURIOUS: Another "Host name lookup failure", two freenas machines, one has issue

[Bikerchris]

Do be assured this is not a priority, this is occurring on a machine that is going to be re-purposed soon, so it's not important at all - only a curiosity!

Hello all,

First of all, please be assured that I've done all I can to remedy this issue - it is far from priority.

I have two freenas machines connected to the same switch in LAG mode, the local IP's end:

12 - unable to connect/ping router or internet (ping google.com and freenas.org fails)
23 - new install, works fine

Both:

Are running FreeNAS 11.3-U4.1
Have IPv4 Default Gateway ends with 1.1
Have nameservers 1,2 & 3 set as 1.1
Have the correct IP address set within Network / Interfaces
Running in LAGG mode
Can run replication tasks to each other
Have LAG config'd on the Switch (Netgear GS110TP)
Router is a Draytek Vigor 2762AC (no VLAN or VPN's - simple config)

The problem machine (ending 12):

Has plex installed via Plugin
Has a 4 port Intel NIC (Intel I340-T4 E1G44HTBLK)
2 nos. cables goes from Netgear switch, to wall backplane, out the other side and connects to machine. Originally I had the two cables individually going to 2 freenas machines with no WAN connection issue (though that was when they were plugged directly into the Draytek router).
Originally used the onboard Realtek NIC and had no problems.

So I guess it's that 4 Port NIC perhaps? May be I should buy another that's a bit more compatible with FreeNAS?

That's the only difference.

Thanks!

When the plugin tab is selected, within a minute I get this - which in summary is saying there's not WAN connection:

Just an update, reverted back to onboard NIC and internet connection restored. As I said, not a problem that needed resolving, only curious.

Another little update, I tried plugging only 1 network cable into the 4 port PCI NIC, that also had trouble with FreeNAS's WAN connection.

Well, I've used those two network cables for LAG'ing my intended machine (PC1, which has dual onboard NIC), and all is well. So I can only presume it was the NIC card.
