Can't access SMB Share with \\SERVER but I can with IP


Recommended Posts

I just built a second UNRAID server (TOWERB) to backup my first one (TOWER).  I set up a Windows 10 VM on TOWER to use backup software and sync the shares.

 

I can access TOWER fine from my VM on the Network tab in Windows explorer, but when i click on TOWERB I get error "Windows cannot access \\TOWERB."  I can map the drive if i use the IP address rather than the server name.

 

I can access it on my other Windows machines and on Mac just fine.

 

Any ideas why this is happening?  Thanks in advance for your help.
