Safety of Login credentials for SMB...

Ok so similar but slightly different question:

Background:

• Storage hosted by my Linksys WR32X Router (see screenshot) with authentication credentials
• SMB v1, v2, and v3 are all enabled on my Win10 PC via the "Enable Features" window (and I've restarted my PC)
• My Windows 10 account uses my MS Live email address as a username and I have 2-step authentication set up as well

A Timeline:

• The NAS successfully shows up and is accessible from the Network page in Win Explorer
• I've successfully mapped the storage to a Network Drive in Windows using the authentication credentials I set in my router's settings page (again see screenshot)
• When I try to access the SMB share via a separate device on my network (my FireTV device running Kodi 17--which supports up to SMB v3), I get caught in an endless loop of it asking for a username and password.
  • I've tried using the credentials I set in my router settings, which worked when I mapped the share to a network drive in windows, and it didn't work in Kodi
  • I've tried un-mapping and re-mapping the share to a network drive using my windows 10 account username and password instead of the credentials set in my router settings, which did not work for either mapping the drive in windows or for accessing it in Kodi
  • I also tried generating an app-specific password via my Microsoft account settings in case the 2-step authentication set on my account was causing the issue (much like you have to do to add your account to Outlook Desktop App when 2-step is set up)

I just want to access my SMB share from my FireTV device (or any network device for that matter) without having to create a new local user. I saw some responses saying that I need to set up a new local account and use it's credentials to map the drive and
then it should work, but is this REALLY necessary? It seems like a redundant workaround...

So, what if I don't want to create a new local user? I like having jut one account on my Win10 PC and that uses my
MS email address as the Win10 Account username.

Any suggestions? What am I missing here? Thanks in advance MS community!

 

Not able to share files over network after an windows update.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Please note that Home network feature has been removed from Windows 10 (1803 and later builds). So could you please help me with the following:

1. Which version of Windows 10 are you using?
   

Note: To check the version of windows, open run dialog box (by pressing Windows key + R) and type “Winver”.

2. What is the exact error message you are getting??

Here is an alternate that you can use. We have a feature called Map a drive to share files on computers on same network. I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

Step 1: Re-map the drive: Here is article to help to map the drive:
Map a network drive.If you are not able
to view any of your computers from the other computer then follow the steps mentioned below.

Step 2: Check if the feature is enabled (make sure that this feature is enabled on all the computer connected to this network).

1. Open Control Panel.
   
2. Then click on all Control Panel Items.
   

3. Then click on Programs and features.

4. Then on the left hand side, click on Turn Windows features on or off.

5. Windows Feature box will open. Please scroll down and under SMB 1.0 CIFS File Sharing Support, check the boxes next to SMB 1.0/CIFS Client and SMB 1.0/ CIFS Server. If the boxes are already ticked, please unchecked the box and check
it again.

6. It will ask you to restart your Computer. Please Restart it.

Step 3: Check if the services are running:

1. Press Windows key + R to open Run. Then type "Services.msc" in the run box and hit enter.
   

2. The names of the services which you will need to check are:

• Function Discovery Provide Host.
  
• Function Discovery Resource Publication.
  
• SSDP Discovery.
  
• UPnP Device Host.
  

3. Also Check for DHCP Client and DNS Client.

4. Right click on the above services and then go to properties.

5. Under General tab, make sure that the Startup type is automatic and Service status is running.

6. Then go to recovery tab and change all the entries (next to 1st failure, 2nd failure and Subsequent failure) to Restart the Service.

Now you should be able to use the map a drive feature to share files.

Hope it helps.
