[Samba] Can't access by NetBIOS Aliases or IP Address

[David Bear]

Hm.. standard troubleshooting may be

use smbclient -L on the samba server to list shares and make sure samba is
responding to request.

check the samba logs for info -- and if needed turn loglevel up in smb.conf

if this was a joined server prior to upgrade, you may need to rejoin it to
the domain
