I am trying to set up access to a Windows 10 share from Ubuntu 18.04.
I get the following error:
Unable to mount location
Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out
The error comes immediately as I click the Windows 10 computer name in the Files window of my Ubuntu. (For comparison, if another Windows 7 computer on the same network is not on, the error comes with a delay.)
What I did:
I have the following lines in my etc/samba/smb.conf per https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390873&p=13764895#post13764895 :
workgroup = WORKGROUP
client max protocol = NT1
On Windows 10, I did Step 1 of https://websiteforstudents.com/quickly-enable-file-sharing-between-windows-10-and-ubuntu-17-04-17-10/ .
I checked that Windows 10 Firewall has a rule for File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In) with the following description: Inbound rule for File and Printer Sharing to allow Server Message Block transmission and reception via Named Pipes [TCP 445]. It is enabled to allow the connection. It is set for Domain, Public and Private networks. It has Protocol Type = TCP, Protocol number = 6, Local Port = Specific ports, 445. Remote port = All ports.
I do not want to use explicit IP addresses because my router assigns them dynamically.
I have another Windows 10 computer on the same network, and when I try to access it from Ubuntu, it asks for username and password. (I do not need to share it so I do not continue.)
I have another Windows 7 computer on the same network, and I can access its shares from Ubuntu. I can also access from it the shares on the Windows 10 (the one I cannot access from Ubuntu).
Many thanks for any ideas.
