SOLVED Host Name Not Found

[RagtimeBetty]

Good day. I have a Freenas that was set up by my ex. I was able to use it no problems at my pld place, but now I have moved and I am getting a hostname not found error - I am not sure it was shutdown properly before the move. My network sees it but not under the freenas name. I have no idea how to fix it as I did not set it up.
Should I just reformat it and either start over or just use the drives as storage?

freebsd.pool.ntp.org ist the name of the FreeBSD network time protocol pool, used to synchronize the time of your FreeNAS machine with trusted time sources. Did you try to connect the NAS to the internet after the move? There might be other things to configure now with using another router / DHCP server / whatever in your new local network.

It seems entirely up to you if you want to learn how to use FreeNAS and / or need to have access to your existing data or not.

The NAS is hardwired to the modem, should be online everything else connected is, I cannot see it on my network however.

Are you able to access the Console Setup Menu as shown here (maybe after hitting <Return> or <Esc> on a keyboard connected to the NAS)
http://doc.freenas.org/11/quick.html
and to work from there?

Hopefully somebody else is willing to answer further questions quickly, it's after midnight over here right now ...

I can get to that menu, I can log into the NAS via IP and see all the neat settings. Now just gotta get it on the nextwork - thanks for your help

If you switch the port of the NAS with another device that works, does the NAS come online?

Have you checked the router to see if an IP is being assigned to the NAS?

Does this menu provide you with an IP address? If so, then try to access it in a browser.
