I'm configuring my first SMB share and thanks to the excellent documentation and other resources, I got the basic setup going in a matter of minutes.
The only setting that I'd still like to get working now is the "Hosts allow" option. My Windows box has a hostname "MarioDS-Windows" and IP "192.168.0.185".
When Hosts allow contains the IP (192.168.0.185), I can map the share as a network drive on Windows.
When Hosts allow contains the hostname (MarioDS-Windows), Windows gives "access denied" and asks for credentials.
I have created a user on the FreeNAS box with the same username and password as my Windows machine so authentication happens automatically in the working scenarios.
Any pointers please?
Regards,
Mario
