Try to disable (apply) and enable (apply) Service Discovery for SMB/CIFS in the WebGUI under Network | Service Discovery.

Nope, didn't see to help.
Thank though.

FYI, I reinstalled OMV. And reinstalled windows, went from 7 to 8. I don't have an extra router so I did the factory reset. My router didn't have a open source firmware or I would have tried that. I can map the drive on windows machine. But does not show up in network places. It does howevershow up innetwork places when I tried it via an ubuntu live dvd. It does not show up on apple tv network bowser. .. but I can conect to omv if I enter the ip address.

Everything is pluged into is my netgear wndr3700v2. And I can the shares from phone etc...

Nope... still not seeing in windows....

I did ... service samba start
And now it says it is running...
root@openmediavault:~# service samba status
nmbd is running.
smbd is running.
Do I need to do anything else?

It says WORKGROUP all caps.

OK, i fixed 40 or 56 bit encryption for both public and home and rebooted... still not showing up.

Yep... all of a sudden I can not see it from either windows machine... that's why I thought maybe it was problem with one of my omv setting....

Yep... I started the service... and I can see my files from my phone... but omv is still not showing up in my network area under computer in windows 7.

OK, thank you for sticking with me...
I re-installed OMV... it didn't fix the problem, but I can now SSH in... but I get this.

root@openmediavault:~# service nmbd status
nmbd: unrecognized service
root@openmediavault:~#

One last question...
If I just re-install OMV is there a way to import my two drives or will they need to be wiped formatted and everything copied back to them?

Yes, I enabled ssh. OMV is on a spinning drive, not ssd. I can attach a monitor and keyboard...

Shoot... no when I try to access OMV with ssh via putty it says access denied. So I don't know how to enter service nmbd status.

I am just looking under network via computer from start menu. If I type the ip address in a browser it gives me the OMV GUI login screen.

No, no firewall on OMV and I turned it off on the windows machines...

I have two windows machines and they both stopped seeing OMV at the same time...

Yes, I rebooted and unplugged etc... no luck.

I have been running OMV for 2 years now, and all of a sudden I don't see OMV from the network places on my Windows 7 computers. I can access the webGUI with out any problems. And I can see all my shares (samba) from my android phone.
Any ideas?
Thanx
