Windows 10: Windows 10 can't connect to Samba files

Hi there,


I have a windows 10 pc connecting to a linux file server.


On attempt to connect, I'm prompted to enter my credentials, but it always fails with "Username and password incorrect".


I can confirm that the samba user details are correct.

Regardless of the username I use to access the files, it always fails with the above error.


On attempt to connect to the the same server, using the same credentials, on the same network on another windows pc, I always gain access.

It is just this specific pc that refuse to connect.


Connecting to another windows pc seem to be working fine though.


Could you please assist regarding?

:)

 

Samba connectivity


I'm still working with a problem I've mentioned here before: my Windows boxes have lost connectivity to my Samba box since adopting Win 10. There are dozens of flavors of this problem discussed online, and dozens of solutions, none of which have worked for me.

Describing what goes on in two of my hosts, GILGAMESH (Win 10 Pro) and ABELARD (Fedora Linux):

GILGAMESH: Full Internet connectivity via router. Can SSH into ABELARD via PuTTY. Can FTP into ABELARD via WS-FTP. Host ABELARD appears in File Explorer->Network. Clicking on its icon produces error 80070035, network path not found. This PC->Add a Network Location gives same result.

ABELARD: Has Samba 4.7.3 aboard, with two shares configured for access by the Win machines. Filesystem, including the shares, is accessible from GILGAMESH via FTP, but not via Samba.

Samba access was normal until the Windows machines were switched from Win 7 to Win 10.

smb.conf file attached. Suggestions?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
