    OK guys I have Freenas installed on my server and have initialized my test disk which is formatted NTFS. I still cannot get to the disk from my main computer. I can use the web GUI and see the disk that way but it does not come up in network at all. For the love of god what am I missing here?

    EDIT: Finally I found what I was looking for. A hoe to configure I can easily understand

    Thanks guys. This is working out very well already. I will need to replace the stock fans soon though it's kinda loud, but fixable

    Yep. The WebGUI is your friend now. Just gotta remember to add disks, put them online, then set mount points; sort of a funky process. I have all my FreeNAS drives network mapped for quick access, but typing in the address in explorer isn't too hard if you're on another box.

    Be sure to check the graphs to see cpu load and what sort of transfer rates you get.

    Yeah I did the network mapping as well, just easier. I was just speaking with Art on MSN and mentioned I NEED to get a gigabit PCI card because I'm transferring at a MAX of 8mb/s what do you get? Where are these "graphs" you speak of? I see this



    EDIT: Ah, I found it here it is


    Still I think I have to get a gigabit card Hell It's $14 on the egg.

    Yea, that's about what I get:

    Copying from:



    I don't think adding just a Gbit e-net card to the box will help so much unless your router/switch is also Gbit.

    Everything on my network is Gigabit. Would that help do you think?

    Having a gigabit card on connected to a gigabit backbone will greatly improve speeds. I like you have a wired gigabit segment and with everything running at gigabit speed there is a dramatic speed increase. It will be $14 well spent putting that card in.

    Remember to disable the onboard card in the BIOS as well.

    It is already, When I got the server it came with 2 cards in it. One is a network card the other a IDE to PCI card allowing one to connect 2 more IDE drives.
