I built a FreeNAS server and it has been running great. I can transfer anything to and from the NAS at 110Mbps which is the maximum for a gigabit network. Specs Dual Processor - Intel Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 v2 @ 2.5GHz 128GB ECC RAM Dual gigabit NICs (6) 4TB Drives FreeNAS: 11.1\_U4 I installed the Plex Media Server plugin which runs in a FreeNAS jail. (ver: 1.12.3.4973) I was running into buffering issues so I thought it was a transcoding issue. Well if I ping the server IP it will ping successful and then die, then successful then die. I don’t think it’s a transcoding issue now.. I think it’s a plex server issue. I heard about issues running the server plugin through FreeNAS so I built a new jail running the standard jail instead of the plugin jail. Sure enough I could ping the server nonstop (PING 10.10.10.214 -t100) and each and every ping would return. Then I manually installed Plex server on this new jail (ver: 1.13.2.5102) and as soon I installed Plex the the ping would be intermittent. ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/plex/uploads/default/original/3X/6/e/6e3638d753d2b76056189bc6d8d9089a41571079.png) This server should do everything I need and more but for some reason I’m having a hard time with Plex. I’ve exhausted every option I have and need some help. I bought a lifetime Plex Pass and it is becoming unusable. Thanks Brandon ---
