Good Day Everyone.
I am running into a problem that predates me at this location and I was hoping that it would resolve itself after a rebuild. I will try to explain it and hope we can work this out together.
I have NAS box that had 3.9.1-16 on it and completely wiped clean. New system has been rebuild with orinigal 3.9.1-0 and then upgraded immediately to 3.9.2-48.
I have configured NFS and SAMBA shares on this machine.
What I am running into is that from a Windows machine if I try to access the SAMBA share I am not able to connect by the actually hostname of the machine (co-nas01). I am able to use the IP address.
I have put the netbios name = co-nas01 with no luck.
From the windows machine I am able to resolve correctly with nslookup and ping. Everything but windows explorer is able to connect to the machine by hostname. Here is the trick. If I create another name in DNS as co-nas02 to the same IP address. This works without issue. I prefer not to have the second name and just use co-nas01 everywher.
Has anyone else seen this issue and maybe resolved it themselves.
P.S. In a web browser I am able to connect to co-nas01 without issue to manage environment. I just can not connect to SAMBA with the hostname that I want. I have another Rockstor that has never had this issue.
Regards,
Ken Parr
