SOLVED Manual update

[mpratt]

Hello,

I am running a small home server with FreeNAS OS Version: FreeNAS-11.2-U3 (Build Date: Mar 27, 2019 18:24) on Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3550 CPU @ 3.30GHz (4 cores) with Memory: 8 GiB. I also have a home router a NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G.

When I check for updates, I get the following error message:
HTTPConnectionPool(host='update-master.ixsystems.com', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /FreeNAS/trains.txt (Caused by NewConnectionError('urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x820d39d30: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 8] hostname nor servname provided, or not known',)): Automatic update check failed. Please check system network settings.

While I am trying to figure out where my settings are wrong, I would like to manually update my freeNAS software. Where (and how) can I download and install the needed files? I downloaded the new software version and created a dvd to run, however I am not sure how to begin without completely replacing the settings I now have.

Thanks from a new novice user.

Do you have a nameserver (such as 8.8.8.8) set in Network -> Global Configuration?

I used the DNS addresses from the isp for nameserver 1 & 2.

Can you show us what this page looks like on your system:

Your default route should not point back at the NAS. The NAS is not a router at all much less the default. The default should be the inside address of your firewall / router and that should also be your first name server.

This was easier to see in the old (legacy) GUI:

Then the individual IP configuration of the NIC would look like this:

Thank you. It seems to be working as it should. Many thanks again.
