Windows 10: Challenge connecting to a Samba share from a Windows 10 machine

Hi have a share on a Linux box Fedora 31: "\\192.168.1.51\Scanned"


My HP printer can scan to this share and so I can confirm that I know it is working no authentication is required.


From my Windows machine I can ping the Linux box 192.168.1.51. However I cannot browse to or map to the share. When I run the troubleshooter I get told "file and print sharing resource 192.168.1.51 is online but isn't responding to connection attempts".


I have installed "SMB 1.0/CIFS Client" and enabled "Insecure Logons" in the group policy.


I am at a losss as what else to try.

We look forward to your response.

Thank you.

 

Samba connectivity

I'm still working with a problem I've mentioned here before: my Windows boxes have lost connectivity to my Samba box since adopting Win 10. There are dozens of flavors of this problem discussed online, and dozens of solutions, none of which have worked for me.

Describing what goes on in two of my hosts, GILGAMESH (Win 10 Pro) and ABELARD (Fedora Linux):

GILGAMESH: Full Internet connectivity via router. Can SSH into ABELARD via PuTTY. Can FTP into ABELARD via WS-FTP. Host ABELARD appears in File Explorer->Network. Clicking on its icon produces error 80070035, network path not found. This PC->Add a Network Location gives same result.

ABELARD: Has Samba 4.7.3 aboard, with two shares configured for access by the Win machines. Filesystem, including the shares, is accessible from GILGAMESH via FTP, but not via Samba.

Samba access was normal until the Windows machines were switched from Win 7 to Win 10.

smb.conf file attached. Suggestions?

Can't connect to Samba shares

Cannot connect to Samba shares since upgrading to windows 10 on 3 systems.

We have several Windows 8.1 and more than 100 Windows 7 system that can connect.

It seem that Windows 10 cannot see the Samba server the error is "Windows cannot access Server"

The Windows 10 systems can ping the name of the server so it is being resolved.

Very frustrating. Like the speed but less compatible than previous Windows versions.

Been checking the forum but see no answers to this issue for Windows 10.

Thanks.
