SOLVED: Weird error - Folders have disappeared

I have a weird error.
HDA is up and working. All the Servers are working and there is plenty of space on the drives and partitions. I can see films from my Plex, etc. etc.

Everything appears to be fine EXCEPT I know longer see HDA and folders on the network/other computers.

For example, on my Mac the HDA appears on the Shared list but there are no folders.
On my Windows machine, HDA has disappear from the network list.

There was so kind of glitch as I was adding files to the folders (which now have disappeared at least from the view of the network.

Any idea?

Have you set the Workgroup on the Shares tab? You should be able to add a shortcut to Windows Explorer for \\hda. I have done that and mapped some of my more common HDA Shares as well.

No, I changed from Workgroup to SolarSystem when I created the system.
This problem just happened a few hours ago.

Restarted smb and I can see them in Windows.
Still not on Mac yet but going to reboot the mac.

Copy. Hard to say the cause.

Rebooting the Mac worked.
All folders back, visible and usable.

Probably was the samba server.

Most likely. Glad it's resolved.
