Can't reach FreeNas server through a gigabit switch (No DHCP)

[PhilippeL]

All right here is my config:

Cisco SG 100D-08 gigabit switch (no router connected to it, therefore no DHCP)
Server is an old Athlon 4000+ with 2 GB DDR RAM with an Intel EXPI9402PTBLK Two Gigabit Copper Server Connections 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps

I boot FreeNas version FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64 from an Usb stick and get to the Console Setup page.

I manually config my adapter with: IPV4 with IP :192.168.100.1/24 on FreeNas
I manually config my lan connection on my win7 laptop with a similar IP adress and same default subnet mask.
I double checked that every sharing options were on and without password protection. Eset firewall was set to off.

Still, through chrome or firefox I can't reach the WebGUI of my server..
I am clearly doing something wrong in there..

This is my first attempt on setting up a freenas server so please go easy lol

from Windows command line...

"ping 192.168.100.1"
"tracert 192.168.100.1"

The lack of DHCP shouldn't be causing a problem. What did you set the gateway to on both the laptop and FreeNAS? You just need to make sure basic network connectivity is working. There isn't normally much that needs to be configured in FreeNAS just to get to the web interface.
