Can't access SMB Share from Windows any more

[eqartimus]

Using TrueNAS-13.0-U5.1 and all of a sudden, I can't access the shares from my Windows 11 machine anymore.

I have deleted old credentials from Microsoft Credential manager.

When I turn SMB off, the Server disappears from my windows "Network". When I turn SMB back on, "FREENAS" is re-listed. However when I try to click on it, or Map a network drive accessing it, Windows reports: " \\FREENAS is not accessable."

BTW, I was able to access the share with the ip address, not the server name that is listed in my Explorer window ?

You can add an entry to your "hosts" file if you want this to be seamless and permanent.

Not sure if it's the same procedure in Windows 11 as it was for Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista.
