I went to all my windows machines and made sure that they will not attempt to become a master, and they don't now. I monitored it a bit and I see that my freenas machine always wins elections and is always a master.

However, freenas is not visible on windows machines under "computer" node. It is accessible via \\freenas though.

In contrast on MacOS I can see "freenas" under "shared" in Finder, but I cannot connect to it. When I try it says that "there was a problem" and "the server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time".
Trying to access it via "smb://freenas" is also unsuccessful, however if I use the IP address it works.

Is it a problem with FreeNAS/FreeBSD Samba implementation/configuration? I have a couple of linux machines here at home (openelec, ubuntu) and when I run samba daemon on them it works as a charm...

My SMB configuration includes the following:

Code:
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 128
wins support = yes


but, again, being a master doesn't seem to help with this issue.

In other news, the sky is blue. News at eleven.

What OS X version? And what are the min and max SMB versions set up?

Try setting the max to SMB2.

Do(es) the Mac(s) have to access the same shares as the Windows machines? If not, you might enjoy using NFS instead.
