Showing FreeNAS in network

[SavageAUS]

This used to work but now does not. When I would click on network (windows 10) my FreeNAS box would show up and I could go through my shares but after the last few updates (now on RC2) it does not appear. Which setting on either machine must be changed for this to work. Yes I can type the address in which is fine for me but not for other members of the house.

This is due to a change in Windows 10, opposed to it being a fault with FreeNAS or Samba.

This has never worked well. Not even WHS 2011 did this reliably.

The easiest solution is to navigate to your server, right click and choose "pin to quick access". Easily accessible, doesn't take up a drive letter, and it always works.

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions. I’ll look into this tonight, I did notice that last night my FreeNAS box was set to “.local” so I’ll change that to what the windows pc is and see what happens.

So I managed to get my FreeNAS box to show up on my laptop under “network” but not on my desktop. Oh well, at least drives are added as network mounts.
