I've tried finding a solution to this but I just can't seem to find anything about it.
I have both Macs and Windows systems in my house. Since Macs can speak bot AFP and CIFS and windows can only do CIFS I settled on CIFS as my default file sharing method. I would however like to have a dedicated AFP share running to support Time Machine backups for my Macs. As per the FreeNAS docs it's not good to share out the same share under both AFP and CIFS so I have a dedicated share and dataset for just Time Machine use. The issue I am having is that the Macs can only browse the AFP share by default and not see any of the CIFS shares on my FreeNAS server. I can of course browse to them using the "connect to server" option in finder and enter "smb://freenasserver" but this is a pain for the less technical members of the household.
So, is there a way in FreeNAS to setup a dedicated IP address for AFP and one for CIFS and have them show up in my network accordingly?
Thanks!
