It is only relevant on the host serving files, in your case this is Freenas, and the file is configured via the web interface. You are using centos as the client, therefore, smb.conf is not useful. Client side configuration is handled by other software packages, you don't need samba. If you are running the SMB daemon on centos as well, this could throw another workgroup into the mix and confuse Nautilus. You should make sure samba is not running on centos since you say that this box is the client. You essentially have 2 servers on the same network, and it picks the wrong one ;-) > > I'm running into a lot of you have to set the workgroup to WORKGROUP > nonsense online, my workgroup is > roch.robinson-west.com.

There is a more advanced explanation, but in short the workgroup (set by default to "WORKGROUP") is a feature of Windows domain networks to allow computers to be grouped on a given network segment. I very much doubt that 'roch.robinson-west.com' is your workgroup. It's usually just a 1 word name, and doesn't necessarily need to match your FQDN. SMB login credentials look like this: \\SERVERNAME\PATH\TO\SHARE\ WORKGROUP\USERNAME PASSWORD When workgroup is unspecified, it will default to what you were told by online nonsense. Since so many devices use WORKGROUP as the default, a good way to get everything working is use it unless you specifically need otherwise. I think you might need to go back to your smb share on freenas and make sure it is configured properly. based on what you've said so far you added all your configs to centos, which isn't actually going to do what you want. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
