Virtual Machine and VNC

[nex86]

I set up a Virtual Machine with FreeNAS.
I can use it with the built in browser VNC in the web interface, but when I use IP and port to connect with VNC Viewer it says that the connection was closed unexpectedly.
user and password are not set, at least I'm not getting a prompt for it.
Any ideas?

Which version of FreeNAS? Is there a firewall on the network? Which OS is running VNC Viewer?

 

[nex86]

1. latest for X86
2. no
3. Windows 10 64 bit latest version of vnc viewer.

1. latest for X86

Exact version matters. You can tell from the System -> Dashboard (or System -> Information if earlier than 11.2 series).

11.2 U6

Thanks. Have you configured the VNC device in the Devices menu for that virtual machine (in the FreeNAS UI)?

Hi @dlavigne,

Go easy on me, I'm a newbie to FreeNAS.

I setup a FreeNAS on a couple weeks ago and started a couple VM's. Everything was running fine and I too was running via the VNC web bhyve - noVNC without issues. Recently this has stopped working. The VM's I have all no longer work beyond a couple minutes (Windows 10 and Mint Linux). I thought installing a local version of realVNC might help but it has not. I've tired changing ports and checking firewalls.

My current version of FreeNAS is : FreeNAS-11.2-U6

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

@0nA1r3 is there anything in /var/log/messages around the time the VMs stop working?
