During the searches I noticed about the Ip, dns it says on a multiple machine shares then it needs to be different for each one so they can be uniquely identified as which machine they are. I'll look for which link explained it. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Multiple_Server_Instances
Explains for multiple servers but looking at the adresses format is what I meant.

I used the help manual to get me here. It didn't work.

Ok a few tings. I just noticed that in the smb.conf that it has printable = yes. This was making other computers see the server as a printer. So I changed that to "no". This didn't fix the connection problem but now my windows computer sees it as another computer and not a printer. I still can't access anything.
I did verify that the firewall does in fact allow samba
