FreeNas Help Needed

ste-sim2x9 · 17 Apr 2013 at 17:50

Ok i've never used or even made a nas michine before but i've got a spare machine and set out setting freenas up. I've installed freenas to a memory stick and get to where it gives me a ip address to access the web interface but all i get is the following.

Whats wrong and how do i fix.

Still lost and can't get this to work,as seen on the pic above I'm getting no ip and the Ethernet cable is connected. I select option 1 configure network interfaces but don't know what to put, not great with networks.

here's what i selected.

Select an interface - (1) nfe0. Selected 1
Delete interface yes/no - Selected n
Reset network config y/n - Selected n
Config interface for DHCP y/n Selected n
Config IPv4. Y/n Selected y
Interface name. Left blank
IPv4 Address I put my routers ip in
IP v4 Net mask I put my routers in
Config IPv6. Y/n. I selected n

I was taken back to console setup with my routers ip now showing where there was 0.0.0.0 on the pic above. So I gathered I had to go to my laptop and put my ip in to access the GUI but nothing happens. Any help would be great.

Ipv4 address is the ip you wish to assign to freenas not the ip of your router. Net mask should be 255.255.255.0

Is that any ipv4 address that i can use?

Any address that isn't used, I'd pick something that couldn't be used by another device that grabs one via dhcp

any suggestions?
