I have a Windows 10 PC that has a problem accessing a network share.

The firewall is disabled, network is local, I tried accessing by IP address or domain name. Same workgroup. What is even more weird, from a Ubuntu VM on the same PC I AM able to access the same share, so it's something in Windows settings and not a networking problem.

I've went through quite a few answers on Super User and the web, but so far nothing worked.

  • Do you get any decent error messages? Does the connection time-out or anything else? As it stands, it is impossible to diagnose the problem.

  • Windows 10 introduced a new version of the smb protocol and is possible incompatible with Sambe at the moment

Try How to detect, enable and disable SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3 in Windows and Windows Server. Windows 10 tries to negotiate SMB3_11, which Samba does not yet support.

Another possibility UNC Hardening (enabled by default in Windows 10) - try access an SMB share by the servers's FQDN and check that same name is in the server's smb.conf file. DNS aliases don't work.

Did you added a password for the user for samba?

Use command smbpasswd -a username to grant access.
