How to make possible to access to shared folder on win7 machine by ipv4? as my linux machine needs it.

The problem is in fact that i can't access by ipv4 to this folder even from this win7 computer, like \\192.168.1.3\Shara, only with name \\Comp\Shara or ipv6 \\ipv6\shara

To be honest I would use its DNS name e.g \\Comp\Shara.

Or try changing the bind order of the NICs.

  1. Go to:

    Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network Connections

  2. Press Alt

  3. Go to advanced
  4. Then to advanced settings
  5. At the bottom, select any entries for IPv4 and move them to the top.

I had the same issue but Client for Microsoft Networks was already turned on. In my case, it was after a router update had turned on the Mesh network option (TP-Link router). Turning that off fixed it.
