  1. Why is it so difficult to connect to a Samba server?


    First, I can't find it in the network storage area so I need to install wsdd. Then, it won't let me specify a custom username or password. It can't be that hard to implement something that your competitors have been able to do since 2009... Unless, I'm doing something wrong.

  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.
