Hi All,
Firstly this may not be a freenas error and its something related to how i am configuring the system. Here are the details
Installation:- While installing the freenas and starting for the first time, i had the NAS box connected to my ISP modem/Router. This automatically create a DNS LAN host entry in the modem with ip automatically populated.
re0 NIC is not set up manually nor i have created any interface connection. This is automatically created as i ran the freenas 9.1.1 for the first time. New install by the way.
2) Installed the MiniDLNA plugin by selecting from the drop down.
Post installation, i went into the jail in shell and created a folder called media under usr/pbi/minidlna-amd64/MMedia
jail for the MiniDLNA is running successfully and storage is done as follows.
Source - /mnt/Server**/Mediafile(with folders as well)
Destination - usr/pbi/minidlna-amd64/MMedia(inside Jail)
Verified the mount in shell(inside the jail) as i did a LS on MMedia, i am able to see the files inside the Jail folder.
MiniDLNA is running fine.
The Nas box is connected to my router/modem directly via ethernet cables. And my systems are able to access the server folder shared via cifs.
Issue:-
From any PC connected in the WIFI i am able to access the CIFS folders, the web GUI and the jail can also access internet. I am able to see the list of PBI files for installation and verified internet access inside shell.
1) The server is never loading into any DLNA client connect to the same wifi the server is connected**(While able to access folders).
Attaching few set up pictures for help.
Issue 2)
The server is loading in DLNA clients if i connect the NAS directly via ethernet to the device. Like a tv. Or like to an access point or switch.
Ultimately i can do only one of the things, either have the NAS with no Internet access but media server or no Media server but internet and wifi access to the server.
Note:- If i create an interface manually re0 and give an ip within the same subnet, the media server works but NAS cannot access internet nor can it get transmitted via wifi way like above.
Need some network expert to say what i am doing wrong. I need the nas to be accessed directly as folders as well as media server.
Please do suggest some steps to fix this issue.
Thanks
