          semanage fcontext –at samba_share_t "/home /public(/.*)?"

          need to delete the space between /home and /public to make it /home/public

              So I finished this guide but my CentOS 7 file server isn't discoverable. Ideas?

                @wirestyle22 Discoverable? You couldn't access using \\server-ip-address\sharename ?

                  Are you a Windows shop? Did you add it to DNS?

                    @Romo No but maybe I did it wrong. Does the path look like this?

                    \\192.168.1.202\etc\home\public

                      Yes I want to acces it from a Windows PC. No I didn't add it to DNS. Can we add this to the guide?

                        I meant if you are used to the Windows world (which I am), the devices just automagically add themselves to DNS.

                        I have memorized all my Linux box IPs because I haven't had the desire to add them into DNS manually yet. Which made me wonder if it was the same issue.

                          I'm just attempting to mount the drive. With a static IP I don't think that's required, right? Or do you mean to make it discoverable on the network? It's probably required for that.

                            Right, I was answering the "discoverable on the network", but actually "by name" which I now realize isn't what you are asking.

                                \\192.168.1.202\etc\home\public

                                Should be \\192.168.1.202\public if your share is named public. It should also be visible if you go to \\192.168.1.202

                                In the guide the share name is called public, check your smb.conf to make sure the name of share and your path to the folder is correct .

                                [public]
                                path = /home/public
                                read only = No
                                guest ok = Yes
                                browseable = Yes
                                public = Yes

                                  @wirestyle22 I'm confused do you want to make it discoverable when using network discovery on windows?

                                    @tiagom I'd like to know how to do that but even just mapping at this point would achieve my goal.

                                      @Romo Still don't know where I'm going wrong here 😞 Is this correct?

                                        @wirestyle22 It seems fine. Can you post the output of smbclient -L localhost ran from your samba server please.

                                          @wirestyle22 Just added the steps to mount the share to a Windows 10 PC to the orginal post.

                                            @Romo I did not output smbclient -L localhost yet. I'll do that when I get home today. The other steps you took were the same steps I did. We'll see what happens with the command. Thanks!
