I am flabbergasted by an surprising SMB mount on my MacOS. Right here the state of affairs
- I am not related to my native community (truly in a lodge related by a vpn to the web, therefore not even the IP vary is wherever comparable)
- I observed my nas being obtainable within the finder. The SMB ports usually are not forwarded by the router at house. The router has a DSLit IPv6 handle, i.e. no (static) IPv4
- I can truly entry the recordsdata on the nas, so this isn’t a ghost from the previous or pure metadata cache.
I do not know how that works! Sadly MacOS is horrible in getting data out. Right here a number of issues I’ve tried, particularly to attempt to pin down how my Mac is connecting to the (very) distant nas
dscacheutil -cachedump -entries nas.native
Unable to get particulars from the cache node
dns-sd -B _smb._tcp
Timestamp A/R Flags if Area Service Sort Occasion Identify
17:19:55.433 Add 2 17 native. _smb._tcp. NAS
dns-sd -L NAS _smb._tcp
Lookup NAS._smb._tcp.native
DATE: ---Wed 20 Nov 2024---
17:21:39.439 ...STARTING...
17:21:39.628 NAS._smb._tcp.native. may be reached at nas.native.:445 (interface 17)
The native IP handle of the nas cannot be pinged. Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
If anybody has an thought how the mechanics work, I would be very eager about understanding this!
Cheers,
