Hi,
I've had FreeBSD (currently 12) running on an older AMD server for several years now. A few weeks back my Wifi router (and central router) died so I replaced it. The new router defaulted IP Addresses to 192.168.50.x, whereas I was running 192.168.1.x previously (both have cidr /24). Because most of my home network uses DHCP the transition was largely automatic, except for my FreeBSD server. "No problem" I says to myself. "I is smrt and goods at networkin'".
So, first I adjusted the IP address and for the main host (jail 0) in rc.conf:
I was able to ping the new router without issue so I swaped over all my jails via iocell (note my complete failure as a systems engineer to check the WAN before continuing?). My main Ethernet adapter now looks like this:
All jails (and the host) can see and ping each other and other computers on the network as well as the main router that's connected to my cable modem. Internet access is fine with all my other computers and a static IP test on a different freebsd instance (ghostbsd actually) was successful. However, this is the result I get when ping testing from my FreeBSD server:
I am baffled. Can anyone suggest what I have forgotten/done wrong/failed to consider or otherwise flubbed?
Hat in Hand,
