Robert... thanks for the reply. I did find the Reboot function in the GUI. That was one part of my question. The second part (aside from not being able to map to the drive, which was my main concern) was the action of resetting everything (all settings) and start from scratch again. However, given that the unit boots up just fine, and I can log on to the GUI easily, indicates to me (the novice) that something must be wrong in the way I set up the Volume maybe.
As I indicated above, the GUI works fine, which indicated to me that the system itself is set up right, but I can't map to the unit. Just about any combination of addresses I enter into the Windows Map Network Drive>Folder function, returns an error message of not being able to connect. I can even use the Browse function, and it lists "FREENAS" as an option under my Network, but when I utilize that Browse function, that's where the "homes" sub-folder is displayed (which I don't recall entering or selecting anywhere during the initial install). Selecting the path to FREENAS/homes returns the same unable to access message as when I enter any address manually (including the 192.168.1.40 address of the unit itself).
The Path and Name that is displayed when viewing the Sharing option is: Path "/nmt/FreeNas_1", and the Name is "FreeNAS_Server". In Sharing I am using Windows (CIFS), and the Storage Volume Name is "FreeNas_1", then sub to that on the next line is "FreeNas_1", then sub to that on the third line is "Larry_FreeNAS". And, under the Services tab, CIFS is set to ON (all other switches except S.M.A.R.T) are set to OFF.
Also, I think I recall one of the instructional resources I researched indicated something about the name of something set during the install must be the same as the host network. I can't seem to find anything related to setting, or changing, the host network information. I have no idea if I set it to match my local network. Entering the IP address of the unit in a browser gets me to the unit, be entering the same address in the Windows Mapping function produces an unable to access error. I don't understand why.
This unit is being used on my home network, and I will be the only user, so I don't need any sophisticated groups, permissions, etc. I wish there was somewhere I could get the plain vanilla envelope settings for the normal joe like me to , using Windows like millions of others, and just wanting a simple straightforward setup. Many of the instructional articles and videos seem to leave out the specifics in an attempt to address multiple situations and levels of complexities.
Thanks...
