I set Up Samba Server on CentOS 7 inside vmware workstation. The host OS is Windows 10. Windows 7 and 8.1 cannot find the Samba Server, but I still can connect to the server using \\server\share.

I tried the solution from this page Ubuntu Samba server not discovered by Windows 7 but still doesn't work.

This is my /etc/samba/smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server %v
netbios name = FileShareSamba
security = user
map to guest = bad user
wins support = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
dns proxy = no
ntlm auth = no
lanman auth = no

#=================== Share Definitions ====================
[Anonymous]
path = /samba/anonymous
browsable =yes  
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no

This is happen when netbios has different name with machine name, so i change my machine name to FileShareSamba as well, now windows 7 & 8.1 can discover the samba server.
