      Well all of that looks fine..  Other than your freenas has not gateway?  From your global options doesn't look like any gateway, so how would it talk to 8.8.8.8 to ask for 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org, etc..

      And if freenas is still saying it detects duplicate you got something wrong still somewhere.  But why would it complain that that dupe on 10.0.1.2 if your sayings its IP address is 10.0.1.125?

      Do you have more than 1 IP address set on freenas?

        hi johnpoz

        i used to have 10.0.1.2 as a freenas gateway. i dont know if that should be or not? so i took that out and left it blank, as for the freenas ip address i have changed it to 10.0.1.125 because i thought that might be the problem with my internet going down.

        many thanks

          The FreeNAS IPv4 gateway should be set to the pfSense LAN address, 10.0.1.2.
          Without that, as John said, FreeNAS cannot access anything outside it's own subnet including the Google DNS servers.

          FreeNAS is not complianing about a duplicate IP directly but rather an IP that doesn't match it's static ARP entry. Perhaps that needs to be updated, by rebooting maybe?

            i just took your  advice re freenas (IPv4 Default Gateway and put 10.0.1.2 as soon i done that and rebooted the freenas server and pfsense i lost the internet connection same old problem like where i started from. one more thing in freenas static routes - my gateway is 10.0.1.2 is this right . i am lost with this whole thing.

              I think the time has come for screenshots.  Interfaces - WAN and Interfaces - LAN, plus a shot of your FreeNAS network config page.

                Looks to me like freenas (freebsd) is complaining that it's seeing ARP for 10.0.1.2, which is a permanent ARP entry on freenas, which means it is still assigned to an interface on freenas (I think.)  Or was at that time.

                freenas  kernel: arp: 54:be:f7:66:6c:9a attempts to modify permanent entry for 10.0.1.2 on igb0

                What device has on 54:be:f7:66:6c:9a is anyone's guess.

                        Hmm. Ok. Did you change the IP details in FreeNAS to use the new pfSense address as it's gateway?

                        Screenshots would really be great here.  ;)

                          Looks fine.
                          A screenshot of the FreeNAS network config page would probably be helpful.

                          Can you resolve those NTP servers from any other machine on the LAN? Or from the pfSense box?

                            The default gateway must be set to the pfSense LAN address, 10.0.1.120. Without that set the FreeNAS box will not have a route to anywhere outside it's own subnet, it can't reach the Google DNS servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

                              You don't need a static route.  Delete that and set your gateway in freenas to the pfsense IP.

                                  Yes, I use FreeNAS and pfSense.

                                  Screenshot of what?

                                  You keep talking about some static route.  You don't need any static routes so if you have configured one, delete it.

                                  Change the gateway in FreeNAS to the LAN IP of pfSense, which I suppose is 10.0.1.120.

                                    Dude it seems like there is a language barrier here, and just basic concepts maybe - you don't seem to grasp the concept of what a gateway is or what IPs even do..

                                    You change your pfsense to 10.0.1.120, then why do you have freenas default gateway set to 10.0.1.1 ???  Do you not understand what a gateway is?

                                      Those are both FreeNAS issues. The first looks like some problem with jails perhaps? It's trying to rename the virtual Ethernet pair and can't for whatever reason. The second issue maybe DNS related. Read this: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/4027 Have you recently updated FreeNAS?

                                      You will probably have more luck on the FreeNAS forum solving those, though many here run FreeNAS.
