First off lt me say I'm no expert on Linux and only a limited understanding of networking and very new to FreeNAS ....
Essentially I run everything at home on a basic network, telco modem router and then an unmanaged switch.
I have no DNS server or LMhost files nor do I want them so I rely on NETBios to give friendly names to devices.
This works for most things, cameras, PCs, even my FreeNAS box, etc.
I have Nextcloud in a jail on the same subnet and it appears to have valid hostname (given my limited knowledge of FreeNSB) but it cannot be seen by its name nor can it see other devices by name.
If I ping "nextcloud" on the jail it returns 127.0.0.1 so it does recognise it has a name..
I installed samba as I think this includes netbios ( pkg install samba48) but still nothing and I'm not sure about configuring it.
Default Gateway : 192.168.0.255/24 (n/a)
NAS box : 192.168.0.100/24 (NAS)
NextCloud : 192.168.0.110/24 (NextCloud)
Windows 10 PC : DHCP 192.168.0.18/24 (Laptop01)
PC can ping everything by IP. Can ping everything by name except nextcloud.
Similarly, nextcloud can ping everything by IP but nothing not name.
Any thoughts on what I am missing please?
