Recommended NIC

[ezelbanaan]

So I am new to FreeNas and I am trying to use a old pc as a NAS. It does pass the small nas minimum. When I plugged in ethernet to my mb(motherboard) and tried to install it kept giving me a 0.0.0.0 ip (my motherboard is the: ASRock N68-GS4 FX R2.0 ). So I think it is the ethernet port that is not supported so is there any (cheap) recommended NIC to buy. I am only looking for speeds of 1000 kbps.

BTW the ethernet did just work fine in windows.

Look on ebay for an Intel NIC - say an Intel Pro1000 GT: for example https://www.ebay.nl/itm/Intel-Pro-1...640788?hash=item3b2ddeb614:g:M0UAAOSwHgRck~H5

Ok, So any Intel NIC should work as long as it fits in my mb?

Typically yes, for any 10/100/1000 Intel NIC anyway based on reports here in the forum.
