Fuggin Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Like subject says...all my PCs are on workgroup. Unraid is on workgroup as well but won't show up on windows network list unless I manually type in \\tower. Is there something I am missing to make it show up without having to type it in manually all the time? Quote Link to comment
nacat78 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 if you are talking about the shares it could be that you may have to check your samba settings for your shares to ensure that they are enabled and not hidden.. if you are talking about the web gui it sounds like it may be a DNS resolver issue, on the network settings page try changing some of the DNS settings auto vs manually...

Fuggin Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I am referring to the shares. The web gui loads up fine. When I type in \\tower, the shares show up fine. It's just a pita to have to do it manually all the time. I did manage to find a setting in unraid SMB to enable local master. Hopefully does the trick. Quote Link to comment
nacat78 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Ok, just check the SMB Security Settings under each share to ensure that they are set to Export: Yes / Security: Public Quote Link to comment
Fuggin Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Yup...I checked that first...they were all set that way. Quote Link to comment
nacat78 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 are you using AFP or NFS Shares? Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 There was a case where capitalization of the Windows workgroup was causing this issue. One machine was configured with "WORKGROUP" and another with "Workgroup". Is the spelling and capitalization the same on all computers? Quote Link to comment
nacat78 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I find it best to either use all CAPS or all lowercase Quote Link to comment
