    One of four Windows machines can't access Samba share

    I've just built a new Ubuntu server and set up samba shares for myself and my wife.

    Two hard wired windows machines access shares with no problem
    Two Android tablets access shares with no problem.

    Laptop accesses shares wirelessly.

    However, one Windows (W10) wireless machine connects but access to shares is denied). It sees the shares but simply can't access them.
    I've rebooted several times to no avail

    It did connect to my old server.



    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Re: One of four Windows machines can't access Samba share

    Questions:

    [1] What version of Ubuntu are you using?

    [2] Are all the Windows >= Win10?

    [3] Are you using Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Desktop as a server?

    [4] Ubuntu Server doesn't run avahi by default so did you install it?
    Code:
    sudo apt install avahi-daemon
    [5] Neither Ubuntu's install wsdd ( windows host discovery protocol ) so did you install that?

    If Ubuntu 24.04:
    Code:
    sudo apt install wsdd-server
    If < Ubuntu 24.04:
    Code:
    sudo apt install wsdd
    [6] How is your samba server set up?

    The output of this command will tell us that:
    Code:
    testparm -s

    Thanks for this.

    Version 24.04.1 LTS

    3 Win10 machines / 1 w11 machine

    Ubuntu desktop

    Installed wsdd-server no change

    The server has...
    2 internal NVME
    2 internal SSD + internal SSD boot
    1 USB connect SSD

    When I create a share from an NVME it can't be accessed by one of the three Win10 machines. The other two have no problem. Win11 machine has no problem.

    Any share created on an internal (or USB connected) drive is accessed by ALL machines.

    So, it seems that I can't share anything on the NVME drives with the one specific Win 10 machine. I've been over ownership several times and can't find any problems.

    Thanks,
    -dmd-
