I use FreeNAS on a regular basis, and use the virtual machines feature. In the Virtual Machines section, select the three dot button next to one of the entries, if you have more than one. Click on Devices, and then click on the three dot button next to VNC and click Edit. You should see a section that says Bind, and an IP. It might be blank at this point due to the likely IP change. Click on it and see if there's a new IP there, and then save it. Personally, I've always had issues with configuring the network section of FreeNAS, so I would steer clear of it unless someone is with you who knows what they're doing. There are ways of fixing the mess up, but it might be a headache that's more than its worth. 

 

As far as ensuring the IP doesn't change in the future, you probably have some options within the router itself to make the IP permanent on that particular machine. 

OMG, Thank you so much! Thats it youve fixed it! Thank you all for the help, it is very much appreciated...

I'm glad you got it fixed. It was a real headache for me dealing with that as my IP would change in weird situations. Not anymore since it has a static IP from the router now. If you need further assistance with FreeNAS, I might be able to assist you. I don't know how often I'll get back to you, but I do check on here regularly(at least once per day), so it shouldn't be too bad.

 

Hopefully your potentially required assistance won't be too crazy
