Hi all,
I just finished building my first FreeNAS box. Got the latest stable version of FreeNAS installed last night, which proceeded without issue. I got to the user console and proceeded to set up network interfaces. This is where I ran into trouble.
I first tried setting a static IP address on my home network subnet (192.168.1.x with netmask 255.255.255.0). I assigned 192.168.1.2, which is outside of the DHCP pool. The console reported that the web interface would be available on that address. However, I could not get there from a browser on another computer on the same network. I also did not get a response when pinging that address.
Next I tried configuring the FreeNAS network interface for DHCP. This seemed to go fine, and the console reported an IP address of 192.168.1.180 which seems to suggest that communication occurred with the DHCP server. Yet, I got the same result from a web browser and from an attempt to ping that address.
Any ideas what I might be missing? Thanks.
