Network/Hardware changes causing issues?

[thedirtmerchant]

So, I recently changed my 2 Wifi router network to a Google OnHub (TP-Link) and a Google Wifi puck using the "mesh".
For the many months prior to that, once I had gotten everything set up network wise, everything worked like a charm.
I followed Fester's and a few other people's setup info. Had Plex working w/o issues.

Router IP 192.168.0.1
DHCP Address Pool 192.168.0.100 thru 192.168.0.149

Once I changed to the OnHub, I went into settings and tried to mirror those same reservations.
However, I have had some issues with getting the Plex app to work and I noticed that in the
"Plugins>Available" I get a message "No entry has been found", which appears to be a network connectivity issue.

I tried changing the Nameservers (previously had 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) but now trying my router and google...

Code:

Name IPv4 Address IPv6 Address
igb0 192.168.0.8/24
Nameserver
192.168.0.1
8.8.8.8
Default route
192.168.0.1

Researched a bit and what I'm seeing is it may be some kind of connectivity/network issue.

I tried pinging my router and Google (8.8.8.8) and get this:

Code:

Thoughts anyone?

 

[kdragon75]

I went into settings and tried to mirror those same reservations.

Are you using DHCP with reservations or just plain DHCP? 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.149 is a pool or scope that the server is allowed to hand out and generally is first come first serve. Onec a device get an address it will *try* to hang onto it by refreshing the lease when it expires.

You don't explicitly say HOW you connecting to Plex. Are you just going to your jails IP address in your browser? are you trying to go through the Plex website? Are you trying to connect from the same network or from the internet? What is your Plex jails IP address?

 

[kdragon75]

I tried pinging my router and Google (8.8.8.8) and get this:

I see the output for pining 192.168.0.1 (from a computer named "name" is that your FreeNAS box or the jail?) but not for 8.8.8.8.

Sorry, I'll try to give meat and potatoes...but...not quite well versed in this...

 

[thedirtmerchant]

You don't explicitly say HOW you connecting to Plex. Are you just going to your jails IP address in your browser? are you trying to go through the Plex website? Are you trying to connect from the same network or from the internet? What is your Plex jails IP address?

Like I said, I'm not that well versed in this...so hopefully I'm not confusing terminology here...anyway

Jail IP is 192.168.0.10 and I'm trying to connect to that IP via my browser (Plex Web Client) and via PS4 (Plex App there...) and Plex App on my phones/tablets/etc. All have the same
issue where the server is not found. Through my PC, the CIFS? Windows shares are available and accessible.

I'm not sure if the Plex issue is related to the "Plugins - "No Entry Has Been Found" problem, and thus...I ask.

 

[kdragon75]

Ok, let's try a few basic things. All from within the Plex jail, ping your desktop, your router, and google (8.8.8.8). Let us know how each one of those goes.

 

[thedirtmerchant]

I'll get to this when I can.
Work is a 4 letter word...
Appreciate the help in advance.

 

[thedirtmerchant]

hopefully when you say "from within the Plex jail", this is what you mean...if what I did is not what you mean,
well...assume my knowledge is that of someone who can type and that's about it...

So...based on my minimal knowledge...it looks like packets are being sent and received, which is nice.
192.168.0.108 is my desktop
192.160.0.1 is my router (the OnHub)
I wonder if I can ping the Google Wifi puck separately...anyway...that's what I got...

Bump...

Nobody? Haven't figured this out.

 

[Jailer]

What is the contents of /etc/resolv.conf in your plex jail?

Also do you have a default gateway listed in your global network configuration?

 

[thedirtmerchant]

What is the contents of /etc/resolv.conf in your plex jail?

Code:

IPV4 Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1

 

[Jailer]

Add your gateway to the plex jails resolv.conf file.

 

[thedirtmerchant]

Add your gateway to the plex jails resolv.conf file.

Worked like a charm.
Thanks for that!

Any general thoughts on what happened? Should that file have autoupdated when I changed things around with my Network Hardware and Settings?
Or would I always have to make sure manually that the file has the gateway servers and other Nameservers listed?

 

[Jailer]

The jails resolv.conf file is created using the default gateway listed in the FreeNAS GUI at creation time. If the gateway changes it has to be changed manually in each jail. That's with Warden, I'm not sure how things will work with iocage.
