Have you set the network card as "Bridged"? You will have set the IP address when you first started the console. It's probably better to give a NAS device a fixed IP address rather than a dynamic one.How would you do that? Sorry I'm good with computer, i'm iffy with networks. I was working on configuring a static route. I don't know if that would help.... I'm a bit lost.
Regards, Mason.

In the settings for the Virtual Machine you can choose "NAT", "Bridged", "Host Only" (perhaps more) for the NIC. To access it as a server choose "Bridged".
When you first start up FreeNas the console will show a menu, one of the options is network configuration. Either pick a free fixed address on your network or let it acquire a DHCP address. You should be able to see what address has been assigned. (The installation documentation explains the IIRC.) You should then be able to access the GUI by typing this IP address into a web browser.

Have a look at the article I linked to. It goes through it step-by-step with screenshots.I did already before I came here. I got stumped at the IP address. My router is acting as a DHPC server and FreeNas, as I said before, gave me HTTP://0.0.0.0 as my address. That's as far as I got.
Regards, Mason.

If your VM isn't getting an address from your DHCP server then something is wrong with your network setup. It's difficult to guess what this could be.
Are you sure that you have a router running a DHCP server? What network address is your computer on (I.e. the first three parts of the dotted quad address - something like 192.168.1 or 10.0.0)? Are you sure that your computer is getting a dynamic address rather than being configured with a static one? Do you have other devices attached to your router?
