I can see my TrueNAS Scale machine in Windows Networks, however, if I double click on it I get a message telling me "Windows Cannot Access \\SERVER - Check the spelling of the name." If I access the server directly via the IP (ie: \\192.168.1.100) it is fully browseable, which leads me to believe that this must just be a name resolution issue of some sorts.
Does the NetBios name of the machine (ie: SERVER) need to have a DNS entry in order for Windows to be able to browse it? I was under the impression that NetBios can tell Windows what the IP address is without requiring DNS to get involved.
Thanks,
Harry
