Hi Gurus!
As (it seems) with a lot of people, I am finding what should be very straightforward, very confusing - CIFS!! I am 99% adamant I have the shares, permissions, users and groups set up correctly (including not having the users primary group the same name as the username and the username the same as the Windows logon name) yet when I open Windows Explorer (in Windows 10 on a four Windows 10 machine home network), under Network, the FreeNAS box does not show up, but not only that, if I enter \\FREENAS in the address field (FREENAS is the name of the host), then I see all the shares. If I try to access them as one of the defined users who has explicit permissions set for that share & files, I get prompted for a username and password to which I enter FREENAS\the-specific-username and the password. This username and password is the same as the Windows logon, but does not accept it saying it is not accessible and may not have permission to use the network resource...... If I cancel that and enter the ip address in the address field as \\10.0.0.100, I see all the same shares and am able to access the shares correctly as the permissions are granted and not to those where they aren't - in other word, it works correctly!! Why would this be and how can it be resolved so the FREENAS box shows up in Windows Explorer and by clicking on it, the shares show and permissions work as they should instead of having to keep typing the ip address in the address field on Windows Explorer?
Fresh install of FreeNAS-9.10-STABLE-201606270534 (dd17351)
Thanks in advance and if required, please let me know of any further info you may require.
Wozza.
