Windows 10: SMB Share Problem Confounds IT Guy!

Have an existing LAN with a Windows 10 PC and a Windows 11 PC that both can access an SMB share on the network. I replaced the Windows 10 PC with a new one running Windows 11. The new Windows 11 PC cannot see the SMB share.Have confirmed that all SMB protocols are enabled on the new PC.Have disabled the third party firewall and the Windows firewall on the new PC; did not change the result.Have disabled the anti-virus on the new PC; did not change the result.Have disabled all items in Startup Apps; did not change the result.If I boot in Safe Mode w Networking, it works. I can see the SMB share

Problem connecting to SMB Share on Linux server with Windows 10

Hello All,

Recently my Windows 10 laptop no longer sees the SMB shares on my Unraid 6 server, everything was working fine until a week or so ago. Other Windows 7 machines on the same network have no problem seeing or connecting to the same SMB shares. I did some searching
on the Web and it was suggested that you try to sign into the computer with a local account rather than a Microsoft account but that did not help. I also tried the registry edit suggested in this post:

This did not help either, I am currently running Windows 10 Home 64 bit on an Asus UX305LB laptop and my last update was KB3093266, I believe I was able to connect to the SMB shares for a while after the update. It's pretty important that I be able to connect
to the server as I use it to backup the computer, thanks in advance.

 

SMB-Share not found

Hello together,

i have a problem and i'm troubleshooting since 15 hours.

I installed a new Windows Server 2016 (nano without GUI), added it to my domain, assigned my default GPO also applied on all my other servers, installed the fileserver with work-folders and deduplication.

Now i cannot access the SMB-Shares, neither the default admin shares, nor a newly created smb-share on a different drive for testing. I always receive the message "The network path was not found" (Error Code: 0x80070035)

Event-Viewer shows the event 30803 in the SMBClient:

Failed to establish a network connection.

Error: {Device Timeout}

The specified I/O operation on %hs was not completed before the time-out period expired.

Server name: SERVERNAME

Server address: 192.168.101.24:445

Connection type: Wsk

Guidance:

This indicates a problem with the underlying network or transport, such as with TCP/IP, and not with SMB. A firewall that blocks TCP port 445, or TCP port 5445 when using an iWARP RDMA adapter, can also cause this issue.

The client tries to access is also Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10, both doesn't work.

Already checked Windows Update, disabled SMBv1, disabled SMBv2 and changed back to SMBv1, opened SMB-Firewall Ports recommended by Microsoft (also tried disable the Firewall, without success)

Permissions are also okay, access won't work with \\Servername\share, \\IP-Address\share, \\servername.domain\share

I can access from the File-Server other SMB-shares without problems, also can open the local shares with IP-Address or Servername

Also checked the Get-SMBServerConfiguration and changed settings similar to my other servers

 

Network file sharing problems

Just created an account here to say that THESE suggestions addressed my network issues. I've been sharing files among my PCs for many years without issue. Lately, the Windows 10 updates seem to keep taking my network file sharing down. This time, the above settings changes fixed my issues. Thank you!!
