need help with web interface

[brian boyer]

i installed the latest vertion and it gave me the ip address but i can not get into the gui with another computer on my network.

Are you getting a timeout error or a "cannot be found" error?

 

[brian boyer]

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.17.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

That means the address isn't right.

What hardware are you using? Are you sure you have the correct interface connected?

Provide system specs... model number is useless as there's dozens of ways to load that machine. ;)

I got it working. Now i just need to figure out how to set everything. I am still waiting on 4 more hdd to put in it they will be here on Monday so i will wait till then to really get to work on it.

It has 2 xenon 2.66 ghz processors 16 gb of ddr2 memory. And will have 6 of the 8 146.9 gb 10k hdd in it come monday.

Your drive configuration seems suboptimal for a NAS, to say the least. Depending on your exact pool setup, you'll be using 8 disks to get no more than 1 TB of storage. The 10k disks would do well for your throughput, but you'll be limited by GbE anyway. It seems you'd spend less money, power, and space in your chassis to buy a pair of 1 TB disks and mirror them. What factors led you to settling on this hardware configuration?

 

[brian boyer]

I got it cheap and i have a server case that i bought to build one that i want. This one is just to play around with and get use to the freenas program.

 

[brian boyer]

And i can put 1tb drives in this case for a total of 8tb. I really dont feel like dropping 2k on hdd for my server that i am building right now.
