Do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with networking basics.

There is nothing special or magical about DHCP that would require it to access the network or internet. A DHCP server merely assigns an IP address and sets a few settings, all of which you can set yourself.
Your router is your gateway. It's probably also your network's DNS server (nameserver).
Even though I've gone over that document several times, only now i managed to configure it correctly. I can check for updates and I've sent a test email that i got.
I do get a Mail Delivery Subsystem error saying Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
root@freenas.local
That is even though I changed the email address for the root account to my email address under Accounts>Users.
Why is that happening?
Another thing is the alert i get: Firmware version 10 does not match driver version 12 for /dev/mpr0. Please flash controller to P12 IT firmware.
I've downloaded the P12 IT firmware for the LSI SAS3 3008 Controller but couldn't find a guide on how to flash it when it's built into the motherboard and not as a seperate card.
Found this:
https://www.servethehome.com/flash-lsi-sas-3008-hba-e-g-ibm-m1215-mode/
The files i have are identical to the list there except for SAS9300_8i_IT.bin that is missing, instead i have this file: 3008IT12.ROM
Will this file do the trick?
Do i need to go over all the stages?
I didn't find any Jumper in the manual that's about resetting the firmware or anything like that.
Do I need to reset the adapter or can i just flash it as it is without resetting it?
