SMBMount and smb-handler (I think it is) work very well, but are a problem with file shares on modern Windows.  Our Samba is so old you have to bump down the SMB security in Windows to make it work.  I'm not even sure you can do that with Windows 10.

I use both with my NAS.  If you don't want to screw with SMB security there is also NFS for Windows and available on most NASes.

Yeah, I can cross mount all my machines here with it... ram disks, partitions etc :) Easy to tune secondary machines from one "central" machine and copy files here and there. I also sync one machine to another to keep them in exactly the same state.

Here's a guide with screenshots how to configure it:

Thanks for this.  I had completely forgotten about NetFS.  I need to try it out.

Are you sure this is what should work for you? Google's name servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, and this 4.4.4.4 is something else or some ISP specific server.


4.4.4.4 used to be MCI WorldCom's public DNS server.  After it changed hands numerous times it still remained active but a quick query of it today shows it as dead.  The IP is now owned by Level3.
