Hello people.

I've just updated my FreeNAS box to 8.2.0, and I've chosen to install the transmission plugin on it.

The installation went smooth, and I can acces the transmission WebGUI. But when I want to download a torrent file, it never starts downloading.

I've opened the torrent ports in my router to allow access to and from transmission, both for the IP of the FreeNAS box and for the IP of the plugin jail. But it still wont download, and when I hit the "Edit Preferences" button in the transmission WebGUI and go to the Network tab, it tells me that the port is closed.

Can anybody help me out please? :)

Forward to jail IP address

Make sure you've updated your port forwarding to point to the jail IP address, not the address of your FreeNAS server. I initially forgot to do this myself after updating to the plugin version of Transmission.

The port is forwarded to the jail ip, and not to the nas itself.

And my DNS servers are set in the GUI, but transmission still wont download?

To get a shell within the plugins jail run in SSH:

# jexec $(jls jid) csh

Then

# ping 8.8.8.8
# ping google.com

This is what i get when I try to ping the outside world with the commands you just wrote. Seems like the first command doesn't work.. Am I doing something wrong when I SSH into the machine using Putty?

Yes, use jexec `jls jid` csh...

Also your DNS is not working, check nameserver ip in Network -> Global Conf

That's it! Thank you very much! I've forgot to set a nameserver, but it's all running. Thank you! :D
I have the same problem concering transmission closed ports and unlike you, i did not find this thread very useful.
Could you specify how you dealt with it, because i can't only by giving jail ip for nameserver, as you (may) refer above.

You're not supposed to set the jail ip for nameserver. The nameserver is the ip adress for your DNS server. I think you should take a look at this http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Global_Configuration :)

My settings are as shown in the pictures below. The status of plugins and transmission is turned on and the permissions of jail and software volumes are aligned with each other. Is there any idea on how to make it work?

Why the Jail IP is the same IP of your gateway, that is wrong.

Are you sure your gateway IP is 192.168.1.6? My gut tells me it should be 192.168.1.1.

Make sure to set the Nameservers as well, same IP of gateway.
