Try mapping to either of the shares in the attachment eg. \\IP\calebnas
That's part of the issue. It won't work, just throws up an error felling me it's invalid.Try mapping to either of the shares in the attachment.
This is a red herring. Hence the nonsense output.That's the issue. I have the share set up, however, the only thing that Windows will accept is \\(IP address)\root , and it will let me map that, but as soon as I try to access the folder, it gives me an error telling me a device attached to the system is not functioning, or something along those lines.
Well, that would happen if the FreeNAS server cannot get in touch with your DHCP server (usually your DSL modem). For that to work, you need to set the second router up as an access point. Anyway, that's a separate issue.Also, I did try using a separate router and connecting my PC and server into it, but when the NAS booted, it told me something along the lines of "can't configure network" or something, where the IP of the server would normally be shown (on the console). But it was able to just fine once I brought the NAS upstairs and plugged it in via ethernet to the main router.
Yeah, that's how I had the server running before. The other router was connected to the main router and configured to be just an AP, then the server was plugged into that. I had no issues that way.Well, that would happen if the FreeNAS server cannot get in touch with your DHCP server (usually your DSL modem).

What is the exact error message you get when you try to map the share calebnas?
path is \\192.168.1.137\shared. Also tried share, root, CalebNAS, calebnas, mint, root\mnt\shared and combinations of those folders.What's the path you're mapping to? Also check SMB services is running on FreeNAS.
I think there's some misunderstanding here. Your FreeNAS server is only advertising two SMB shares calebnas and calebnas1. Can you map to either of these shares?path is \\192.168.1.137\shared. Also tried share, root, CalebNAS, calebnas, mint, root\mnt\shared and combinations of those folders.

Are SMB services running on your server?
Can you provide a screenshot of your attempt to map to calebnas?
Can you confirm that the IP address of the FreeNAS server is 192.168.1.137? How did you establish it?
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, these points appear to contradict each other.

Well it's working now, but yes I am on 11.2. Also, I didn't make any jails or OpenVPN, so... I wouldn't know. But it's working now.Are you on Freenas 11.1 or something?
I have noticed your screenshot show bridges of Ethernet ports. I think those are iocage jails address you assigned, such as OpenVPN and the like.
I suspect one of your jail IP was made the default IP to Freenas causing issues with you Share.
