pfriederichs Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 1st and most important I have searched on this topic and found nothing that works so far -- I am using the latest Unraid 6 -- I can connect to it via. IP but NOT HOSTNAME from several Windows 10 clients -- I have included my ifconfig from the NAS (unraid) as well as the IP config in Unraid's Web Inteface. I can ping an example Windows 10 workstation from my Unraid telnet session via HOSTNAME of said workstation or IP but not the other way around (Windows Ping -> Unraid only works via. IP). Appreciate any assistance with this -- it was working fine initially and stopped for no reason that I am aware of.

Frank1940 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 NAME="topaz" ..... The host name is topaz. Is that what you are using? Second thing is that Windows Netbios DNS is not the most reliable scheme in existence. Its basic implantation goes back to Windows 3.1 (Windows for Workgroups) when we were using 386 CPU's and network speed could be under 1mb/s. The problem is usually the polling time to elect the Local Master and to propagate that information across the Samba network. The best thing is to select one server to always serve as the Local Master. If your unRAID server is on 24-7, it is the best choice to have as the Local Master. First thing to do that is to go to 'Settings', 'SMB', 'Workgroup settings' and set 'Local Master' to 'yes'. Then turn off every other computer (including any media servers that might be using SMB) on the network for a few minutes EXCEPT your server that you want to be the Local Master. Restart the other computers and go out to Starbucks for a cup of coffee. (Time between Polling in Windows was originally ten minutes! It does not seem to have change since those days.)
