First of all, thanks for a great distro. Would never have got this far without it.
Following the helpful advice in this thread http://forums.openmediavault.o…xample-of-OMV-s-firewall/, I managed to get the NAS sharing folders to Win10, Osx and my Android phone through the firewall so thanks for that. The only issue I am having now is that my Mint laptop can only see it if the final 'deny all' rule (and hence the firewall) is disabled and I am not sure what port mint/ubuntu is using to 'see' the smb share on the network. I have not enabled NFS because I don't really know what I am doing .
I tried disabling the ufw firewall on the mint machine but it makes no difference. If I disable the firewall on OMV then mint can see it. If I then re-enable the firewall on OMV then mint can still see it until I reboot mint. All the other operating systems can see it with the OMV firewall on. It is just linux mint that cannot. It is a pretty simple setup but is driving me nuts - a Pi2 running the latest OMV4 Pi img, a single router as the gw and a few shared folders in OMV which are set as 'not public' under the shares tab of the SMB section. I only use it to supplement local storage and transfer files between local machines. It doesn't even need to be anywhere near the internet apart from for updates.
I have attached my iptables. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... So nearly there lol.
