So did I until I ran into a problem of not being able to find any computers on the network. I finally decided to try it and it worked. (See two posts above for my reasoning.) It did take a while to get the thing tamed so it wasn't sharing everything and anything that was on the computer. You can get around the problem of not having network discovery by setting up a folder (I named mine "Network View') on the desktop. Then you use the URL line on Windows Explorer to get each computer on the network (Can't remember if I used the IP address or the computer 'Name'). Then backup one level to the Network View. Then drag-and-drop the Computer you want to the folder and create a shortcut in the folder to that computer. (After I got everything working, I changed the icons to ones that indicated what happened when you clicked on it. The Network View folder has a Networking icon and each computer has a computer icon. ) To get to a computer in Windows Explorer you have to put \\TOWER or \\192.168.3.124 in the Windows Explorer URL line. The \\ are important! Edited June 2, 2018 by Frank1940 Quote Link to comment
klhutchins Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 even after updating hosts file, enabling fdrespub service, mapping the drive, disabling pin login... I ended up having to add the unraid credentials to the windows credential manager. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3fi7o5/psa_having_a_pin_to_sign_into_windows_will/ctoumup/ Quote Link to comment

nealbscott Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 FYI there were reasons SMB 1 keeps being turned off in Windows. Namely, its an old vulnerable protocol that was exploited by WannaCry virus. https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-tip-stop-using-the-horribly-insecure-smbv1-protocol/ Quote Link to comment
