Hi everyone.,I'm the newguy for petasan. Last week build my first petasan server by lastest verion 3.1 and want to use cifs share to my all clients. Everythings are works and all clients can connect to all nodes by ipaddress, but can not connect to the server by netbios-name (my netbios-name is "share"). I dont know why may be something wrong with the settings? Thanks advance.

If you wish to connect via netbios name rather than public ips, you should setup this via an external round robin dns that hands out the public  ips in round robin fashion for load balancing.

Thanks a lot for the reply, but how can I do the "external round robin dns"? Windows server or ?

you current dns server (Linux/Windows/..) will support doing this. "external" refers to something configured outside of PetaSAN.
