try disable:
local master = yes
time server = yes
the most important is local master = no to avoid conflict with windows 8.1
Alas, no change with that either. local master was set to "yes", but changing it to "no" makes no difference to the discovery issue.
Discovery continues to simply not work.
Turning windows firewall off also appears to do nothing.
Rebooting the client computer does not cause it to appear, nor does it appear in any other client computer.
Turning off the wins and time server...okay actually I apparently did that already at some point. No difference in discovery.
Adding "netbios name = <hostname>" does nothing for discovery.
Firewall? Is there a firewall installed in the OMV distribution by default that could be blocking this? Or are you talking about in my router or client computer? Either way, different client computers can discover each other.
/usr/sbin/nmbd is running.
Resetting the discovery didn't seem to do anything, but the \\hostname did work. So I guess it was just a discovery problem. Thanks!
I configured a drive, a folder, a user, a group. I can access this on my local network through bittorrent plugin, or the DLNA plugin. But when I configure SMB, it simply...doesn't work? The OMV machine should show up on the "Network" in windows 8.1 right? And then under that, there should be folders. But the machine doesn't even show. Both are using the workgroup "WORKGROUP" (this isn't case sensitive right?).

Is there something obviously wrong here? I've tried tweaking the config, restarting both computers, etc...yet nothing.
