After replacing NIC, jail netstat returns "no namelist"

[shawndewet]

FreeNAS 9.3
HP Proliant Microserver.
16GB Ram
RaidZ Level: (don't know. How do I check this?)

The embedded NIC failed, and I have replaced this with a PCIe NIC. FreeNAS networking itself is working fine. I can remote in to the Web UI.

My root problem is that I am trying to get into my Crashplan headless server.
One of the steps is to check that the jail is listening on a certain port.
The check is done with netstat -na...
However, when I run this, I get "netstat: no namelist" as a response.

I'm thinking the epair virtual NIC for the jail might still be bridged to the old NIC? But I have no idea how to troubleshoot this (I'm a Windows guy, with limited Linux skills). Please help?

EDIT:
From within the jail, I can ping the default gateway, I can ping 8.8.8.8, but not www.google.com. (I can ping www.google.com from the FreeNAS host server)

when you're inside the jail, what do you get on "dig" and/or "drill", for example, do these resolve:

Code:

dig www.ibm.com

or

Code:

drill www.ibm.com

? Since you say you can ping 8.8.8.8 from the jail, then the routing/gateway looks good.

If the answer is no, then the problem is your DNS settings, and you should probably specify a nameserver (e.g., like 8.8.8.8) in the network global config.

Do your jails have "VIMAGE" checked? Are the jails on a fixed IP, or are their IP address obtained via DHCP?

Hi DrKK.
Jail has VIMAGE checked.
Jail is on a fixed IP.
I've attached screenshots of network global config, and of the jail setup.

Dig result is:
root@crashplan_1:/ # dig www.ibm.com
; <<>> DiG 9.8.4-P2 <<>> www.ibm.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
root@crashplan_1:/ #


Drill result is:
drill: Command not found.

and what happens with dig/drill?

Sorry I edited my reply to include dig/drill response.

Sorry I edited my reply to include dig/drill response.

It seems you have no nameserver?

What are the contents of the file /etc/resolv.conf in this jail?

 

[shawndewet]

It was:
search local
nameserver 196.7.7.7
nameserver 196.7.8.9

Clearly this is the wrong DNS for my setup. So I edited the file to:
search local
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Now I can dig www.ibm.com

However, my netstat command still returns "netstat: no namelist".

read through this: https://bugs.pcbsd.org/issues/2492

what do you think?

I doubt it's related since the problem only started after I replaced the NIC.
