So I have been searching through these forums, google and reddit before deciding to post for help. For starters I'm using truenas core 13.0.
So like many posts here I recently received a router upgrade from my ISP and at first i wasn't able to access my server at all but after plugging in a monitor i was able to manually enter a new IP then set it as static in my router. My problem is that i cannot get plex to work again, things i have tried:
1. I read one forum where someone suggested to change the IPv4 Default Gateway to my routers IP it was orignally set to 192.168.68.1, I did that and immediately lost connection to my Truenas server and just before deciding to start over with a fresh install I tried changing the IP to a different one and that seemed to work, so i changed the Default Gateway back to what it was before. Now not sure if this affects things but when i originally set the IP after the router change, I found the mac address, set the new IP then reserved the IP with the mac address on my router (I manually typed the mac address). Then after changing the default gateway to my routers IP it not only dropped my connection but the mac address changed, and after i set the new IP it showed as Truenas on my router so it was an easy fix, i'm just not sure if i should set the default gateway back to my routers IP?
2. Another post said to go to the shell of the plex jail and change the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf to the defualt gateway so I went to do that but it was already set to my routers IP so i changed it to the default gateway which was 192.168.68.1 and that did nothing.
So now I'm at a loss for what to do next, I don't want to reinstall plex but if i have to then thats fine its better then having to reinstall truenas. Any help is greatly appreciated!
