Can't see new Freenas box or its share in Windows

[Ron Hagley]

Hi All,

I have had a Freenas box running for years on the old version 7 - no problem with that one. I have now added a second Freenas box using V8 and I cannot see it on any windows PC. I can access it fine on WEBGUi> I have set up CIFS and still cannot see it. Any guidance out there please. I can still see the first Freenas box and its contents.

Did you add CIFS shares as well as enable CIFS?

I did.
Its weird though, it now works after turning off CIFS and then turning it on again. Go figure. Thanks for the help.
