Unable to access NAS via VMs

[clopez]

Hi all,

Can someone please able to help me, I am having issues access my NAS storage via VMs. I tried number of troubleshooting but seems still no luck. Can confirm that NAS IP is pingable via on the same VM but still an issue when connecting, have no issues at all accessing the NAS via local PC though. I have checked all the firewall settings but still an issue. If someone can point me out the issue that would be great. Not too sure if what specific firewall policy is blocking it.

If the VM can ping the NAS, networking is working (which is why PING is such as useful tool). I would change the username to say ".\username" (which means localhost) or you can try "username@local". More than likely your machine is connecting as "workstationname\username" as windows hides the local credentials by default.

Also be aware, you may have to allow certain hosts to connect to the NFS share(if you have one).
