Having a little trouble setting up FreeNAS.

[VirtualLarry]

Windows 7 HP 64-bit client OS. FreeNAS 8.02 (I think). Running off of a USB flash drive using the AMD64 image.

I reconfigured the server from a DHCP IP to a static IP, 192.168.2.6.

I also just put in a DNS server and default route, of 192.168.2.1. (A router is at that IP.)

I created a ZFS Volume with 4 1TB Seagate 7200.12 drives.

I then created ZFS datasets.

I then added a group, and a user in that group.

I then created a CIFS share.

But the share is not browseable in Windows. Nor is it accessable when I type in \\192.168.2.6\ into Windows Explorer.

I cannot seem to figure out how to configure the permissions in the CIFS share either.

Edit: After doing diagnostics on Windows, it gives me this problem summary:
"Problems found
The remote device or resource won't accept the connection Detected"

I can ping 192.168.2.6 from the Win7 box.

Edit: When I go to "\\192.168.2.6\" I get "Windows cannot access \\192.168.2.6\".

I tried going into my 192.168.2.1 router, and adding "local" for the domain. Since the FreeNAS software seems to require a domain-name, and defaults to "local". I somehow think that this is where my problem lies.

Edit: Silly me. I forgot to go down into "Services" and actually turn CIFS to "ON". Now it works fine.

What options do you have checked/set in your CIFS share? I literally only set the name, path, comment, and checked "Browsable to Network Clients".

Do you have a Linux box or another box capable of NFS or AFP? Try setting up an AFP or NFS share and mounting that.

Also try upgrading to 8.0.4. If you 8.0.2-beta3 or later, you can just use the GUI upgrade via the web interface.

Otherwise, try reinstalling the newest version and reimporting your configuration. Your route is fine (mine is equivalent), as seems everything else.
