Issues with connecting to FreeNAS Server

[grimreeper132]

So as the title says I have a FreeNAS Server running on a Sunfire X4275, I currently have 2 Ethernet cables between it and the switch and it has been assigned a IP address from my router on both ports (as far as I can see) however when ever I try to connect to the web GUI it can not be reached, I have not changed anything since the last working boot. How do I connect to it, and thus use it as I sorta need to get access to my data.

I have physical access to the server and the console is available from a video output to a monitor so it hasn't frozen or anthing but yea

Can you try freenas.local?

Can't seam to navigate to it so it doesn't seam to exist which seams to agree with what I get when I ping it through CMD, and when I ping the IP addresses all of them just time out

Does freenas show the ip that the dhcp has assigned it? How about static?

 

Can you ping it?

I don't really understand what you mean

 

I meant that you should go into your browser and type in freenas.local and see what comes up

nothing turns up and when I ping it doesn't exist

I am going off of the IPs the router is quoting, 1 is a static IP, the other is a DHCP one which I have added recently in an attempted to debug.

I have pinged it and nothing is returned, saying "Destination hose unreachable"

can you ping devices from the freenas box?

Sorry I ran the wrong command in shell and got stuck in an infinete loop so took me a tto try and work out how to stop it and I gave up and restarted it again, and now I can get access to to it on new connection but not the older one. Which would be handy to get back but I can deal with that as I can just change some settings in the router in order to change that ports IP Address but its still just weird its doing this, as it wasn't doing this before the restart and I don't really want to need to deal with this everytime it gets turned on so want to know what happened/ing

If you want it to have the same IP address on reboots, then in your router if it supports it create a DHCP reservation for the mac address.

Thats what I have done, the problem was more something else was going wrong and I couldn't connect to it through that assigned IP

If you couldn't ping it, and the interface is up on the server then it sounds like you had an ARP issue on your router possibly given your Destination unreachable error.
