    Unable to connect to an SMB server running on windows 10


    I have a Windows computer with all the drives set up as an SMB server, to make file sharing easier. When I reinstalled Windows, I was then unable to connect to it. I tried connecting to it on my mac, which normally lets me see all the shared drives, whether or not I have access to them, but is unable to connect, just like My windows PCs. I also tried directly inputting the IP address, but that didn't help, either. I know that the computers can communicate to each other, since I can use remote desktop connection.

    :)

  2. 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:

    https://www.schkerke.com/wps/2015/06/windows-10-unable-to-connect-to-samba-shares/

    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.

    How to solve problems with accessing, discovering and connecting to NAS with SMB connection from Windows 10

    I am experiencing difficulties with accessing, discovering and connecting to my NAS with SMB connection from Windows 10.

    I have tried most of the solutions suggest on the Web, but avail, none of them worked.

    • Enabling SMB v2 and restarting
    • Checking SMB v1 in Windows components is ticked on
    • Etc.
    It seems that Microsoft has broken something though their patches

    If anyone can supply me with a permanent/ final fix,
    not workaround, please post it here.
