If you prefer, donā€™t rely on your router settings, just set a static IP on your server instead. That way it doesnā€™t matter what features are available on your router.

I linked to the tutorial in an earlier post.

Awesome thankyou ill try it in a bit an get back to you

Hereā€™s a video tutorial that popped up when I looked around, it may give you more visual guidance should you want that:

Itā€™s important that you pick an IP on your network, donā€™t copy the exact IP shown in the video.

One thing that could potentially cause issues in the future is if you pick an IP that is within the DHCP pool that your router hands out. If your router hands out the same IP to a different device on your network, that you chose to set statically on your TrueNAS server, you end up with a collision. Unfortunately, handling that will require looking at the router DHCP settingsā€¦

I am able to log in to the server thankyou for your help. If i set a static ip for truenas are you able to access it remotely from any device? Or is it just a local server

A static IP does not automatically mean your server can be accessed remotely over the internet. Thatā€™s because your server should be set to use a local IP-range and without manual port forwarding done by you, the wider internet will have no way of seeing your server.

The local IP-ranges are as follows:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

As you can see, you currently use the third variant of local IPs in your network. If your server is assigned an IP within your current network (192.168.1.#) it will be inaccessible directly from the internet. Typically you donā€™t want your server accessible remotely because itā€™s a security risk.
