Back before 9.3, I had a freenas server called "myNas". I could access this server from my linux computer (K-Ubuntu) simply via the name "myNas", eg "http://myNas", "ssh me@myNas" etc...
Due to "unforeseen circumstances", while 9.3 came out, I lost both my PC and nas box. So I built a fresh new freenas, and connected to it via a fresh new linux (vanilla Ubuntu this time).
The issue I'm encountering is that I now must suffix it with ".local" to access it, eg "http://myNas.local", "ssh me@myNas.local" etc...
What is even stranger, is that I modified the domain name to something else "myDomain", so that the "hostname" is now "myNas.myDomain", this changes nothing! The nas' access name is still "myNas.local" on my ubuntu linux box?
Both my Win7 and Win8 computers can access it via simple "myNas".
Anybody have any idea what this is about. Is it a 9.3 thing? Is it a Ubuntu specific thing? Or is it a configuration specific thing?
Sorry if the answer seems obvious, networking is not really my thing...
Thanks !
