Hey Guys, I am testing out a FreeNAS 9.3 server and I am not having a lot of luck. I installed it on a quad core with 8 GB ram and a SSD for boot and a 1 TB HDD for the ZFS shares. I followed ALL the tutorials for setting up users and windows CIFS shares and I cannot access the folders over my network. I can see the NAS when I browse my network, I can ping the NAS and I can connect to the NAS gui using the IP . I have tried to map the drive via the IP as well but I just keep getting a login prompt (I quadruple checked the login and it is correct for the user/owner). I have posted on the FreeNAS forums and everybody has basically said I have everything setup properly and they are at a loss. Any ideas what I can do to diagnose the problem?
 
Windows seems to be weird getting shares to work sometimes, try a non-passworded one to make sure the connectivity works and then make sure your computers domain matchs that of the NAS IE "WORKGROUP". Also, make sure your computer is set to "private network" or that network discovery is turned on (tho you said you can see the NAS so it should be working properly)

Yep, I have tried all that.
 
Does free nas install overtop of windows like an app or is it a free standing OS? If so which windows are you using?

It is an appliance, no underlying windows as it is FreeBSD based. Boots from a HDD or USB stick and you control via web.
