I use a 4G hot spot to connect my main pc to the Internet and share that connection through my wireless router with the hopes that I can use its ethernet ports to connect my truenas cpu to the Internet .. however to my dismay I am unable to get it to work. The router is providing a wireless connection . .I am using it now . . And I am able to connect to the gui through the router. But the Nas doesn't seem to be connecting through the Internet, can't download plug ins, or check for updates. Is there anyone that may be able to lead me in the right direction

The router is a linksys g router . ... and I have created a static ip for the truenas machine..

Any guidance is appreciated

Under Network | Global configuration, you might need to specify a DNS server.

If your router is your local DNS, you can use the router IP. Otherwise, the Google DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are good choices.
