SOLVED SMB Share to Windows

[uncleleo88]

I am running 2 TrueNAS Scale. Windows 11 will only find one share at a time. I can not mount both systems. It looks like both are mounted but if I click into it is really the other system. Any ideas?

TrueNas-1:
OS Version:TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.1.3
Product:Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009)
Model:Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4210R CPU @ 2.40GHz
Memory:157 GiB
System Serial:Not Specified
TrueNAS-2
OS Version:TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.1.3
Product:Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
Model:Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2133 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Memory:157 GiB
System Serial:Not Specified

What steps have you performed to come to this conclusion and what has happened?

Windows will not find more then one at a time. After I mounted both if I click into either one I get the same files.

Can you post the settings of the smb service for both systems?
Do they have the same NetBIOS name?

Attached. NetBIOS names are different.

It would be easier if you attached images rather than PDFs.

Is this working correctly?

What are your settings under Network -> Global Configuration?

I have also stumbled upon not both my machines beeing visible in network discovery, but I haven't bothered to investigate.

Just a (personal) notice, I know this will not solve this problem, but do you really need the windows network discovery feature? I have it disabled on my machines and just map network drives, as you also did. I know that you sometimes want to figure out / solve stuff just solely for the purpose of problem solving, but I don't see any obvious advantage of the network discovery working or not. You usecase may vary.

Noted, images from now on.

No the mounted drives are not working they go to the same system.

If the mounted drives went to the correct NAS I prob wouldn't bother.

You made me realize I should prob not have the same host name for both system. I changed it and now they both seem to be working.

Missed it the first time, you could have just used the IPs instead of hostnames to connect, that should work reliablyt.
That was what I wanted to imply in my post, but I forgot to explicitly mention the use of IPs.

Ah, that was indeed the more obvious one. Glad you solved it.
