[SOLVED] Share visible to UNIX box but not Windows

  • I had everything working perfectly at one point but I must have changed something important and now my Windows computers can't see the OMV share. The strange thing is that the share is still visible to a Ubuntu computer on the network. The web interface is fine and I can even browse my files through a web browser. But the OMV computer doesn't show up at all on the MS Windows network browser.


    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Is your Windows system in the same workgroup?

  • I don't know if this is relevant or not, but my Ubuntu box also doesn't see the shared drives on the Windows computers. When I click the "Windows Network" button in the browser it's empty. The OMV SMB share is displayed outside that folder.

    Can you access the OMV box by typing \\omv_box_name into explorer?

    I know my Windows 7 box takes longer to find my OMV file server than other Windows systems with shares. Are you using XP or 7 or ?

  • Good call tekkbebe.


    Rebooting a switch (one I never think about because it always works) did the trick. The OMV server now displays as a normal share on the Windows network and the Windows "WORKGROUP" now shows up to the Ubuntu box. Thanks!
