Hi there, new to truesnas and trying to make sure I have my static ip set up correctly. My issue is I have access to my truenas one day and I have shut it off and gone to use it the next day and lose access to smb and accessing the folders with my actual data. I still have access the my main truenas via the ip address. I’m assuming my network is giving it a differnet ip when I lose access. How to I fix this issue?
Thank you!
Don’t. Just leave it running. That’s how the system’s designed to operate, and lots of maintenance tasks will be missed if you shut the system off when you aren’t actively using it.
Do you know this, or is it just a guess? Because if the latter, you should confirm this is what’s going on before trying to fix something that isn’t actually the problem in the first place. Turning on the monitor attached to your NAS will tell you what IP address it has.
If your system actually is picking up a different IP when you reboot it, you have two options:
The former would depend on your router; the latter is documented in the docs (link is at the top of this, and every, page in the forum).
