SOLVED Network issues Question

[mysticpete]

Hi all

Been having some network issues and I just checked my network config and it seams strange as I have a Bridge and epair listed, no idea why they are there, Re0 and lo0 are fine, what can I do to tidy this up?

root@freenas:/ # ifconfig
re0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

The epair indicates you have a jails/plugin/vm installed. If you're having network issues, the recommendation is to replace the Realtek NIC with an Intel one (refer to the hardware guides for affordable suggestions).
