Hi,
i have the problem that on my workstation i don't see the shares if i use the hostname of one machine.
There are two other Windows machines (same release and setting) and there it works.
I have SAMBA shares in two Debian installation.
\\3-CPO on my workstation does not show the shares but it works on two other PCs.
\\BOB does work on my workstation.
I found this:
Unable to connect to samba via hostname from Windows 10
So i tried \\3-CPO.local and then the shares show up.
Why does BOB work without .local and 3-CPO not?
Any idea how i can figure out what the problem is?
I often read you need DNS.
But i never made an DNS entry for any machine in pfSense and they always where found by the hostname?
