I've had my freenas server for over a month so far and I have found it incredibly useful. However today it disappeared from the network section of windows fie explorer. My server is running freenas 9.10.2 and my desktop is running windows 10. I made no changes to any freenas settings before this problem arose. the webgui still works and it tells me the share still works and alll my drives are healthy
So far, to try and fix the problem, I have;
-tried accessing the files from my laptop, also running windows 10
-restart both my server and pc multiple times
-fully shut down both pcs, unplugged and plugged them both back in
-restarted my router and gigabit switch, both separately and together
-tried accessing the files from another windows 10 pc
-change dataset permissions to the recommended settings from 3 different guides and from the wiki
-changed my share settings to the recommended settings from those same 3 guides and of course the wiki
-created a new share point from scratch using the settings found on the wiki
-turned smb off and back on again
-replaced ethernet cables
-checked for errors using my server's ilo port
-pinged the server with windows to see if it was still responding(it was)
-created an nfs file share to see if windows would recognize that(it didn't)
-turned 48 and 56 file transfer encryption in windows sharing center
-turned off the requirement for passwords in order to access remote computers in windows sharing center
I have many important files including school assignments and irreplaceable family photos, and I would like to have them back asap. if anyone has any suggestion for something that may help.
