November 8, 20187 yr I have updated from the first version of Unraid, I really never needed to so I just let it ride all these years. So I updated last week, a billion great changes it seems. I have a domain but I do not want the the Unraid attached. I have the share set for workgroup and public. If I try to go to \\servername\shared I get an error. If I go to the \\192.168.0.30\shared I can get right to it. I am 100% positive my DNS is right. What would cause this?
November 8, 20187 yr Community Expert What client are you using? If it is Windows then this is quite a common issue as with default settings recent Microsoft updates have broken the way name resolution happens for finding Samba servers and the associated shares.
November 9, 20187 yr Author Also, I tried just doing a net view \\servername and shows nothing. I mean the share is definitely there, if I use the IP address I can get to it. A simple ping or NS Lookup shows the DNS resolution is perfect.
November 9, 20187 yr Community Expert The name lookup that matters is not DNS, but netBios. That is what tends to be disabled in latest Windows builds.
