Hey all,
I wanted to know if anyone else is having issues connecting their VMs to the internet as soon as they set a static IP on the VM. I haven't been able to find a single thread that had the same issue as mine and I have been banging my head against the wall for weeks now, trying to solve it.
The issue:
Whenever I set either (or both) of my VMs to a static IP configuration, they will lose all outgoing internet access. I have already confirmed that none of the devices on my network are asking for these IPs. I can ping the VMs sometimes, meaning that sometimes the ping comes back, other times it times out.
First and foremost, below are the configurations for both TrueNAS and my VMs:
TrueNAS Scale Version: 25.04.1
Network configuration:
VM 1 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS):
netplan configs:
Static IP Configuration:
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
enp5s0:
dhcp4: false
addresses:
- 192.168.1.253/24
routes:
- to: default
via: 192.168.1.1
nameservers:
addresses: [1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1]
DHCP Configuration:
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
enp5s0:
dhcp4: true
(This forum removes the spaces for this configuration but I have already confirmed that it has the correct spacing.)
VM 2 (HomeAssistant OS):
If anyone needs more information from me I will post it ASAP. I don't want to move off of TrueNAS but I'm really starting to consider it because this issue wont go away.
Dont know if this is related but I also keep getting this error in my logs
