Windows 10: Windows 11 can't connect to Ubuntu samba shares

I have problem to connect from Windows 11 to my sambashares on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS but to my sambashare on Linux raspberrypi 6.1.21-v8+ the connection works. When I tested with Windows 10 I was able to connect both Ubuntu's and RaspberryPi's samba shares without problems. Raspberry Pi has Samba version 4.13.13-Debian installed and Ubuntu has Samba version 4.18.6 installed. Can some help me with this issue?

I can't get Win10 PC to Access Ubuntu 18.10 Samba Shares

Actually, I don't know if I have a Windows problem or a Ubuntu problem here.

I've been using a Ubuntu server for years accessing it with Windows computers with no problems. Then I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.10

I'm trying to share several folders from my Ubuntu server with my Win10 machines. Three of my four PCs are running Win10 ver 1809 and one is running ver 1803.

Two of my vers 1809s can access and write to the Ubuntu's Samba Shares perfectly, no problemo. One of the vers 1809 can see the shares, but cannot access them. Neither can the vers 1803. However, just to make things more
confusing, of the multitude of Samba shares that I've created during this whole head-banging experience, all 4 of the Win10 PCs can access one of the Samba Shares.

Of the two PCs that are not having difficulty, one has SMB 1.0/CIFS checked and one does not. The 1803 has it checked.

I have tried turning off the Windows firewall.

Do I have a windows problem or a Ubuntu problem?

Where do I go from here? I am open to any suggestions.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello Simon,

To better assist you, kindly provide the following information:

We look forward to your response.

Thank you.

 

I can't get Win10 PC to Access Ubuntu 18.10 Samba Shares

Thank you for your suggestions.

I finally solved this in two different ways:

1. I got SAMBA to finally work by changing my user name and password to match my linux machine's name and password in Windows Control Panel > User Accounts> Credential Manager > Edit Windows Credentials. (I still have no explanation why the "Everyone"
option for privileges didn't work.)

But Much Much easier

2. I set up NFS on both the Ubuntu and the Windows PCs. Even though I've never set up NFS before and I've been fighting with SAMBA for over a decade, the NFS was a breeze to set up and it works!

I now have SAMBA and NFS shares running at the same time.

Thanks again,

John
