After setting static ip internet stopped working

TrueNAS General
1

First time installing TrueNAS and everything went smooth until I changed the IP address to a static one.

I can connect to the console, log in and do what i want to do from a settings perspective as long as it does not involve an internet connection like looking for updates, apps, etc. I can access the NAS from a different computer to browse the files.

When i try to look for updates i get: Cannot connect to host 443 ssl:default [Temporary failure in name resolution]: Automatic update check failed. Please check system network settings.

Trying to discover apps: [EFAULT] Failed to clone github link’ repository at ‘/mnt/.ix-apps/truenas_catalog’ destination: [EFAULT] Failed to clone ‘github link’ repository at ‘/mnt/.ix-apps/truenas_catalog’ destination: Cloning into ‘/mnt/.ix-apps/truenas_catalog’…

All of this worked before I set up the static ip address.

What am I missing here?

System Version: 25.04.0

Did you set a default gateway and one or more DNS servers?

I had a default gateway but I did not have a DNS server record. Once I added it, it just started working as expected.

I appreciate your extremely fast response/help!
