I searched.. really I did.. have a server that has been running flawlessly for quite some time... just recently on a pretty regular basis... I have been losing network connection to the server.
Can still log in via the admin screen from my PC, but cannot access anything else...
I reboot my PC and connection is returned..
Is there a way via the Root admin screens/menus to identify which NIC I have in my server?
I cannot remember and would love to see without opening up the box right yet....
Thanks

current version TrueNAS-13.0-U4

lspci and/or lspci -v

Those should give you a list which will include many things, but at least a description of your NIC

Also, ifconfig will give you the hints...

re0 (means realtek)
em0 or igb0 (means Intel)

Start out with "ifconfig -a" which will show you all the interfaces configured in the system. You can also use "lspci -v".
