  1. Connecting to a Samba Share


    I am trying to connect to a samba share.

    There are two users on the machine.

    user1 was able to access the share drive and map the share on the machine.

    user2 was able to access the folders.


    the next day user1 could not access the drives that were mapped nor could they access the share through direct through the explorer bar.

    user2 is able to access the server on the same machine. it is only user1 that cannot access the shares.


    this is the second time I have encountered this error.

    The first time I encountered this issue I factory reset the machine and it solved the issue, but the next day the issue occurred again.

    :)

  3. 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.

    Brad

    Connecting to a Samba Share

    Cannot connect to SAMBA shares on CENTOS7


    Actually it is the Guest browsing restrictions that Microsoft implemented, not SMB. There is an updated guide from the beginning of March that explains it, how to get Windows to see Linux shares.

    See this from last year. It still works. Windows 10: Unable to Connect to Samba Shares schkerke.com
