VM cannot ping FreeNAS therefore cannot mount CIFS

[BahBah]

Hi

FreeNAS version 11.1-U4

My FreeNAS is 192.168.1.10
My VM 192.168.1.11 gateway 192.168.1.1 (router)

I cannot ping my FreeNAS from the VM. I created it using the WYSIWYG wizard.

cat /etc/resolv.conf always shows (and overwrites) nameserver as 127.0.0.53

Router is pfSense. No DHCP. Only static IPs.

I can ping my Windows machine from VM fine 192.168.1.8

Can't copy and paste through vnc so ifconfig highlights are:

inet 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 irrelevant as no ipv6 on network.

Code:

mount -a
mount error: could not resolve address for 192.168.1.10:: Unknown error

Mounting SMB shares from Windows PC works fine.

Code:

route -n on VM
Destination	  Gateway		   Genmask
0.0.0.0			   192.168.1.1	 0.0.0.0
1902.168.1.0	0.0.0.0			  255.255.255.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I created it using the WYSIWYG.

WYSIWYG is a term from publishing meaning What You See Is What You Get with regard to how a document is previewed on screen and prints in the same format.
This has no relevance to FreeNAS in any way at all.
FreeNAS has a GUI (Graphical User Interface) and the use of it is what I guess you are talking about but you have left so many details out that it is difficult to say.

cat /etc/resolv.conf always shows (and overwrites) nameserver as 127.0.0.53

What system is giving you this?

Hi Chris

Yep, fair enough. Wrong acronym usage. I meant wizard.

The nameserver is gotten through a simple reboot of the VM. If I change it to 192.168.1.1 it resets after a reboot.

If I'm short of information can you please let me know what else is needed to diagnose this?

Many thanks

Were you able to resolve this? If not, how are you setting the DNS address?

Hi

No I haven't been able to resolve it. I can't ping the host by IP, let alone through name resolution.

Regardless, when I set 192.168.1.1 (pfsense proven working) as my nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf it gets overwritten every reboot and replaced by 127.0.0.53

I already have it set in /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto enp0s3
iface enp0s3 inet static
address 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1

But as I said, I can't ping the FreeNAS host (192.168.1.10) so name resolution would just be the icing on the cake.

Thank you
