[SOLVED] FreeNAS network is not showing on my SMB windows desktop

[jihmmay85]

Hi Everyone,

I am using FREENAS to set up my NAS. I did the proper steps to get to the IP address, I pinged my network and user. Everything seemed fine and works. I shared it with the SMB Windows as well. While checking the network drive area, I do not see my drive or my drives there. The folder is simply empty. Any thoughts??

Thanks!

Have you set the workgroup on the FreeNAS software to the same as your household workgroup name (hopefully you aren't using the default) ...
Did you check your PC to verify that it is set to a private rather than public network ?

Are you able to log into the freenas control panel from the same computer? If not, there's probably a firewall rule blocking access.
