May 22, 201214 yr I can access the unRAID control panel by entering the IP into my IE browser, there I can see the hard drives, spin them up, etc. But when I try to access the shares via browser (\\IP), "windows cannot find \\IP. Please check spelling etc." A friend of mine came over with his macbook, and was able to access the server without issue.I also brought it over to another friends house running win7, and he was able to access without issue also. I am running Win7 Ultimate, with the latest unRAID version. I am hard wired for every connection. Router, server, computer. Any suggestions?
May 22, 201214 yr Author I did disable the windows firewall, and disabled AVG (antivirus) as a trouble shooting attempt. to no avail.

I assume you are using SMB which is the native file sharing protocol for windows. Next, did you turn on SMB on BOTH the Settings page and in the settings for the share on the Share page? Click on the 'share name' to get to that portion of the page. Be sure that Export is set to "Yes" and the security is 'Public' on the SMB Security Settings. Now you gain access via the "Network" icon which should be on you desktop. If this icon is not present, open up Windows Explorer and click on Network. You should see the name of your unRAID server there. (The default name is "Tower".) Click on the server name and you should see your shares in a couple of seconds. Edit: Windows Explorer is NOT IE!!!
May 22, 201214 yr One more thing> On the SMB setting on the 'Settings' page, set 'Local Master' to "Yes"!

Yes, SMB is turned on on the SMB settings page, and local master is set to yes. There is nothing listed on the "Share" page to alter. Just a button to "add Shares".
May 22, 201214 yr Yes, SMB is turned on on the SMB settings page, and local master is set to yes. There is nothing listed on the "Share" page to alter. Just a button to "add Shares". On the Share page, under the heading 'Name', is the name of your share in Blue? If it is, click on it and another screen will open. There is where you will find the 'SMB Security Settings'. ============== PS, I am running Simple Features and I am not completely sure what the default interface looks like anymore.
May 22, 201214 yr Author There is nothing under "name" other than the option to add shares. As indicated in one of my previous posts. I cannot see any shares. I can only see the hard drives with a green ball in the control panel.

I can only see the hard drives with a green ball in the control panel. From your description, I can only assume that you haven't actually created a user share. Click on the "Add Share" and do that. Then see if you can then see your share using Windows Explorer--- not IE.
