network bridge issues.

[ETrain]

I am not sure if this was posted or not, but this is would be a problem to anyone looking to easily setup a network bridge on HexOS.

Okay so when clicking the network bridge button I notice it does make a bridge but the IP will change after you do so, and you will need to disconnect and re-connect your server, a recommendation I have to fix this would be to force the re-use of the IP that was being used prior to making a network bridge.

I can add my hardware again if need be.

Not that this shouldn’t be something that Hex updates automatically on network changes or config updates, but another thing you can do is take the original IP and permanently assign it to your sever via your dhcp. This way also ensures that your modem/router doesn’t periodically assign the server an alternate ip as well.

thank you for the suggestion I already tried this and it would still not change to the new IP...  I always go into my router and make sure the IP is set to not change for the mac address listed, but the mac also changes when you bridge it so I went in and changed it again and updated it with the new mac address but it would still not register with the correct IP.

if you saying to change it with hexos I would not be able to.  but I might of been able to do it on the truenas side. but yeah, ether way this should be something more streamlined for consumers lol.

 

its solved now but this is more of a heads up that this will def need some TLC and fixed... otherwise I could see consumers getting annoyed.

Glad you got it resolved. You should be able to change the IP address manually through Hex on the dashboard.. of course you would need to be able to access the server via deck in the first place to do it which was why I made the suggestion to revert everything to the old IP.

 

Either way, sorry I wasn't able to be more helpful.

Your fine, thank you, but I wonder if changing the above to Static would of changed anything, prior to setting up a bridge, might have to try that next time I re-install hexos 🤣
