I'll probably get fussed at for not doing this right, but it's been working fine until now.
I built my first NAS several months ago and it's been great. When I got it up and running, I didn't bother to set up users and groups.
I'm the only user/group here.
I just looked on the network from my Windows 7 machine and started using the NAS like a 20TB drive.
I've had no problem using multiple Windows 7 computers simultaneously, both real and virtual.
Now I need to connect to the NAS with a Linux machine. Linux sees the NAS on the network but when I try to connect, I get
"Unable to mount location
Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out"
Doesn't seem to matter what flavor of Linux. I thought it might be that Linux just wouldn't work with SMB sharing.
I found something about installing smbclient but that didn't seem to matter.
When I looked at the Change Permissions window, I discovered it has been set on Unix all this time.
I changed it to Windows to see if that would matter, but it didn't.
I also noticed when set to Windows all the Read/Write/Execute check-boxes are grayed out!?
I tried a Windows 10 (which I haven't warmed up to yet) computer and looking at the network, it doesn't even see the NAS!
I've made sure that all computers are in the same workgroup.
What am I missing?
