I have had freenas running for years without issue.
Today I was unable to connect to my network folder on my NAS, and I was unable to connect to the web GUI. Plex was still running fine and all media stored on the NAS was accessible.
I unplugged my NAS and moved it to my office where I could plug it into a monitor.
WHen I started it I saw the network IP listed was 0.0.0.0. So I did the network configuration to set the IP to what it was before. It now shows the IP, but I still cannot connect over the network, the web GUI, and plex is now not working as I expected.
So I got impatient and reinstalled and I have the same issue. After a reinstall I have 0.0.0.0.
I thought maybe it was a hardware issue, but that wouldn’t make sense since Plex was working and my kids were watching a movie from the Plex while this was happening. I bought a new intel NIC just to be sure.
