HomeAssistant visible in network explorer but unable to connect

I have Home Assistant working and Samba installed in Home Assistant and in Windows. When I start Windows, Home Assistant is viewable in Network Explorer. I’m not able to access the network share though by clicking on it. I am able to type the IP address in Explorer and get in that way but I’d just like to learn why if I can see it in Network Explorer, I’m not able to access it?

Does your Worgroup match ?
Allowed IP ranges ok (below the default)?

allow_hosts:
  - 10.0.0.0/8
  - 172.16.0.0/12
  - 192.168.0.0/16

Does the log tell you anything strange?

I don’t see my HA in network by the way. Just contacting it via the unc path.
I am running Samba share 9.2.0 and do not support SMB1.

Add homeassistant to your windows host file.
