Hello,
My friend and myself have 2 different TrueNas servers running, and for a while we had no issues and could access each others servers with no issues. When we first set them up, we did have issues, but that was because the network names were the same. We each changed the name of the servers and fixed that issue, till the latest update. Now, even though both of our servers network names are different, his is blacknas, while mine is eaglenas. The only server that shows up is default name (Truenas), even though both servers do not have that name. We are both currently running the TrueNAS-12.0-U7 version of Trunas. We can only see the server that is started first, meaning if my server starts first, then we both can only see mine and not his. If his is started first, then we can only see his. Again, this only happened since the last updated to Truenas, and was working with no issues before this update.

Under Services > SMB > Configure, there is an option for NetBIOS name. This is what shows up for the PC name in windows when you browse the network, even if the hostname in Network > Global Configuration is different.
