Hi!
Is there a WebGUI setting to enable mDNS lookup of the server name to IP-address?
I’m new to FreeNAS and have precisely got my server up and running with FreeNAS 9.3-stable.
Everything working perfectly great, however I always need to enter the dynamical IP-address when connecting to the WebGUI. I would prefer to logon with the freenas.local address instead.
If I start an AFP share then the AFP service is properly registered and available for OS X clients.
Thanks for any hints!
PS. When reading previous release notes I got the impression the server name would be mDNS registered by default, but maybe things have changed in 9.3 or I mixed up things?

Avahi (multicast DNS, aka Bonjour) registration of all services, include
the web service, means you no longer need to have a head on the box to know
its IP address, even for initial configuration, if the system your browser
is running on supports mDNS (e.g. a Mac or mDNS-enabled Windows/Unix box).
The default address will be freenas.local (or freenas-n.local, where n is
the # of freenas.local instances already on the local network). This can be
changed by changing the hostname in the FreeNAS system or network configuration
screens.
