Here I've got TWO plex servers running - one from windows (Blackdog) and the marked one from Linux (brownbear) To access say from Windows or another machine run PLEX I'm using CENTOS 7 but also tested PLEX on Windows as well !! - both work. Personally rather than FREENAS why not install plexmediaserver on a LINUX os it's easy and networking always works. You need to install a PLEX SERVER on at least 1 machine for clients to access as well of course. Users need to install PLEX on their client machines - then when running plex they can logon to your server on the Windows machine with the plexserver name. I basically want to run this as a NAS with access to everyone on the network.

Under advanced sharing, I have everything clicked to allow access/sharing. The computer shows up in the homegroup, but again I'm unable to access anything. I've tried sharing with and without the Homegroup. I can see it from my other computers but when I try to access it, I'm getting the error Network Path Is Not Found. My main desktop is also running windows 10 pro. I have it setup and on the network, but I can't seem to be able to share files to it.

I recently found a good deal on a refurb HP Z420 workstation PC running windows 10 pro and decided to pick it up and use it as a dedicated Plex Media Server for my home network.
