So I'm currently trying to create a 10gig connection directly between my NAS and my gaming PC(my only PC). Before I found out about this forum I was getting help from the LTT forums and they said I should be able this easily without getting any routers or switches involved. I was essentially told that all I needed to do was setup a static IP that was on a different subnet mask for my pc, and for my NAS. I set the IPv4 on my PC to 192.168.1.2 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. I set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1, which I saw on another forum post can work well in this situation.
My issue is trying to configure the NAS. When I set the IP to 192.168.1.3/24 in TrueNAS scale, it immediately asks me for a new default gateway. It seems .like its trying to change the default gateway for the onboard gigabit nic I'm using to access the internet. I tried once just entering the gateway for that nic and testing it for 60 seconds, which immediately terminated my access. I'm kind of stuck here. If anyone has any ideas as to how to set this up I would greatly appreciate it.
