I am having so many problems with my machine(s). The problems have been replicated at different physical locations, different machines, and even different versions of FreeNAS. They always happen the same way. I have spent hours trying to find solutions to my problems in the forums and my own tinkering. The versions of FreeNAS I have tried are 11 and 9. The machines I have tried them on are on a virtual machine for testing as well as a physical machine that I plan to use it on. I did this just to make sure that there is not a discrepancy of the software working on the hardware. The hardware that I am working with both have 8GB of RAM and both with dual core processors. I dont have any settings set up with any jails or vms on FreeNAS. Internet connection is on Google Fiber, wired connections. What I am trying to do is very simple. Here are my problems:
1. Internet connection keeps timing out within a second or 2. pinging to google.com with a fresh install always fails. Within a jail template, setting up a jail connected to a url always times out. I had the same problem with the full pure version of FreeBSD.
2. The FreeBSD package manager has no file that lists its repositories, so I cant use pkg to install anything, even though pkg is there. PKG update does not work for the same reason.
3. Plugging in a USB drive fails to mount. Fdisk and mount do not work the same way they do in Linux. Formatting is not a problem if I could only format it with the FreeNAS shell. I am trying to transfer source code of Snort IDS to the shell in FreeNAS so that I will be able to install snort since pkg does not have any repositories in FreeNAS.
If anyone would be so kind as to inform me of anything I could be doing wrong or if I missed a forum that discusses these basic problems, I would be grateful.
