Installing plex issues

[Deanmrd]

Install
Error: plexfiles had a failure Exception: RuntimeError Message: + Acquiring DHCP address: FAILED, address received: 0.0.0.0/8 Stopped plexfiles due to DHCP failure Partial plugin destroyed

Step 1 remove the realtek nic, step 2 why do you have a /24 and a /32. That seems crazy to me. I would reset everything

not sure as my subnet is 255.255.255.0 should be 24

when trying to install plex

Error: plexfiles had a failure Exception: RuntimeError Message: + Acquiring DHCP address: FAILED, address received: 0.0.0.0/8 Stopped plexfiles due to DHCP failure Partial plugin destroyed

 

[Deanmrd]

Realtek is part of the motherboard why is it working ok outside of the jail?

 

[Redcoat]

Is the DHCP server function disabled in your router configuration?

 

[Redcoat]

Realtek nic's are noted to have problems with FreeNAS

 

[Deanmrd]

Any way to keep the pool as I have all my files on it?

 

[Redcoat]

The pool doesn't have much to do with this... so "yes".

Do you have any active jails?

 

[Deanmrd]

no, it enabled it disabled on the one in the living room as I use that as a hub the Asus assigned the IP address.

 

[Deanmrd]

yes. this is not because I assigned my own FreeNAS IP address? DHCP is not on in the main ip config

 

[Redcoat]

yes. this is not because I assigned my own FreeNAS IP address? DHCP is not on in the main IP config

I'm having trouble understanding what you wrote.
I am assuming your gateway is a router (Asus?). Is its DHCP server function active?

yes active on the asus router,

On the FreeNAS install I chose to assign my own FreeNAS IP is that anything to do with the issue here?

 

[Redcoat]

No, should not be.

Do you have any other jails besides the plex attempt?

 

[Deanmrd]

no

it wouldn't even let me install plex said mount issues

 

[Redcoat]

OK, so go into the current plex jail and delete it, leaving you with no jails.

 

[Deanmrd]

when DHCP is ticked

Error:

plexserver had a failure Exception: RuntimeError Message: + Acquiring DHCP address: FAILED, address received: 0.0.0.0/8 Stopped plexserver due to DHCP failure Partial plugin destroyed

When is unticked and I set the ip and mask

Install

Error: Jail: plexserver has a missing configuration, please check that the dataset is mounted.

 

[Deanmrd]

OK, so go into the current plex jail and delete it, leaving you with no jails.

Done

 

[Redcoat]

All that from deleting the existing jail?

 

[SweetAndLow]

You have multiple routers in your network? You probably have double nat and that's messing things up. Only 1 router on a network unless you know what you are doing.

Set your jail ip with a static IP and all the other networking fields like you did for freenas.

 

[Deanmrd]

After deleted the jail and tried to install plex from plugins

Install
Error: Jail: plexserver has a missing configuration, please check that the dataset is mounted.

 

[Redcoat]

Over to you, Sweet... two coaches isn't going to work here, I fear. I'm out.

DHCP and nat are disabled. the main ip changed as to 192.168.1.2 <gateway for that router.
