So I've upgraded to 8.2-RELEASE-p1 in my virtual machine and I've started playing with the jail. I've setup the jail and I have successfully logged into the jail. I get the alert that the IP address for the jail is unreachable so the plugs will not work.
So I logged into the jail (jexec 1 csh) and I cannot ping my router. I then logged out of the jail and tried to ping the jail IP. It was not reachable. I am sure my subnet is correct (255.255.255.0). I have tried adding plugins but I just get more errors relating to the fact that the jail IP cannot be found. Right now I have no plugins installed yet. I figured troubleshooting would be easier with just the jail installed.
Here's some other odd things that MAY help identify the issue. I haven't been able to resolve these quirks.
1. I have noticed that I cannot access the NTP servers that are defaulted in FreeNAS. I added the one that is somewhat local to me (Chicago, IL) but I still have to "force" it because I get an error that the NTP cannot be contacted. Of course, if I were to ping www.google.com it works perfectly. I do not know if NTP servers are being blocked by a firewall(my router, my symantec antivirus on the host OS has the firewall disabled at the moment for other unrelated reasons) or if there is something wrong with the NTP service in FreeNAS because it is a guest OS in a VMWare virtual machine. I seem to remember there used to be weird things that would go on when a guest machine tried to change the time or date because the guest time/date is supposed to be in sync with the host OS.
2. My network(in particular, my router) does not support IPv6. I've disabled the service on all of my my workstations and the machines that FreeNAS runs as a guest on. Yet, when I bootup after I installed the jail I get these errors in the log at the bottom of the UI....

Keep in mind my FreeNAS server uses DHCP for it's address, but it is setup as a static IP in my router DHCP settings. I'm also confused because IPv6 isn't supported in the jail from what I've read but an error(shown below) says to disable IPv6.
So can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Here's the ifconfig for my FreeNAS server:
Here's the ifconfig for my jail:
Any ideas? I've been scratching my head at this for 18 hours, watched a youtube video from protosd, read the manual for the applicable sections, and searched the forum for other people with similar situations. No help at all :(
On another note.. maybe we should add a section of the FreeNAS Help and support forum for Jail and plugin issues. I really wasn't sure where I should put my issue, so I figured I'd try here.
