Does OMV within VM prohibit File Explorer Access

When OMV is operating in a Virtual Machine environment does that scenario prohibit computers on the network from accessing the Windows 10 Pro file structure of the computer housing the Virtual Machine? I am a beginner with OMV but a fairly good computer person. All of my network computers can see the main computer but ACCESS IS DENIED when attempted. I have checked permissions and security settings. All seems to be okay. I can access file structures from the machine to other computers on the network but I cannot access the machine itself from other computers. All three other computers have no problem interacting with each other on the network in File Explorer.

If there is a problem could someone help me understand what I need to do to rectify.

Thanks

Running OMV in a VM does not change how it works. How you have the virtual networking may make things work different but doubtful.

I understand OMV is compatible in a virtual environment. No problem there. Here's what I'm trying to convey . . .

• I open File Explorer on a network computer that is other than the BSMT-P5ND (PC Name) computer where OMV is running virtually
• I then click on the > to expand the file tree for the BSMT-P5ND because I want to access a folder and file located in one of the non virtual HDD drives
• At that point I receive and error message stating Windows Cannot Access \\ BSMT-P5ND
• The other 3 PC's on the network have the same issue
• All Network and Sharing settings are identical on all PC's
• I never had the problem before setting up the virtual machine to run OMV
• Thus, I am wondering if the virtual OMV environment is preventing access

Adoby - I can appreciate your comments and I have a strong tendency to agree.

Now, I just have to find out from someone on the forum exactly where I need to go within OMV - IF that is indeed the culprit. As a beginner, that is a little bit over my head to solve.
