I built my home system in the fall of 2014 and initially had no problem connecting to cifs shares with ES File Explorer ("EFX") on my Android devices. Sometime last summer I was editing share settings as set out in some forums here in an attempt to speed up browsing folders. At the same time there was a Freenas update, which I applied. A few days later I noticed that I could no longer connect to shares with EFX. I chalked it up to having manually changed the share settings and didn't really try to resolve the issue as I don't really need to access my home nas through EFX.
I built my work system in December, 2015 and left the cifs settings as default. I am similarly unable to connect to these cifs shares through EFX. I am able to connect to shares on a windows server 2008 on the same network with EFX. This has made me reconsider my earlier assumption that the inability to connect with EFX on my home system was due to my manual changes to the cifs settings vs. something in the Freenas update. I would really like to use EFX over VPN to pull up client information when I'm on the road.
EFX finds the freenas shares when scanning the network. But, when I try to connect to the shares, I get an error message stating "cannot find the server"
Has anyone had an issue using EFX to access cifs shares? Any suggestions on auxiliary parameters that might help?
