I'm having the same issue here, and I can't find if anything has changed w. DNS etc. I can ping the server's IP address and their name, but cannot connect to any shares on the machines. I'm not sure if one is able to browse the server, but at least I can connect to my shared data now. Hope this saves someone some frustrating time when trying to connect from Windows 10 to a Linux Samba server. Threats include any threat of suicide, violence, or harm to another.

Continue Reading This update fixes a handful of bugs, and also adds a new option to Settings, allowing you to deliberately choose whether or not to use either Network Browser's internal video player, or a 3rd party system player such as VLC. This is a minor security release, but also adds one small feature that has been often requested by users. Going forward, even if you do not have Helios File Manager installed, you can still perform basic file transfers between your network and your device.
Furthermore, any user in a Windows network can add a new shared resource to the network or remove a resource that he had previously added. The change in the network's configuration is handled automatically by the rest of the network without requiring a system administrator to take any action. In Microsoft's earliest networking implementations for MS-DOS and Windows for Workgroups , the translation of names to network addresses was carried out in a manner that was very simple, yet very inefficient.
When a system on the network needed an IP address corresponding to a name, it broadcasted the name to every other system on the network and waited for the system that owned the name to respond with its IP address. The main problem with performing name resolution using broadcast packets is poor performance of the network as a whole, including CPU time consumed by each host on the network, which has to accept every broadcast packet and decide whether to respond to it.
Also, broadcast packets usually aren't forwarded by routers, limiting name resolution to the local subnet. Modern Windows clients use a variety of methods for translating hostnames into IP addresses.
The exact method varies depending on the version of Windows the client is running, how the client is configured i. In general, Windows uses some combination of the following methods:. The first method is pretty much self-explanatory.
A hostname is checked against a cache of hostnames that have been recently resolved to IP addresses. This helps to save time and network bandwidth for resolving names that are used frequently. In this chapter, we focus mainly on name resolution using WINS, which is supported by Samba with the nmbd daemon. This entry is marked active.
The client is then expected to renew the registration of its name periodically typically, every four days to inform the server that it is still using the name. This period is called the time to live , or TTL. When the client leaves the network by being shut down gracefully, it informs the server, and the server marks the client's entry in its database as released. When a client leaves the network without telling the WINS server to release its name, the server waits until after it fails to receive the expected registration renewal from the client and then marks the entry as released.
In either case, the released name is available for use by other clients joining the network. It might persist in the released state in the WINS database, and if it is not reregistered, the entry will eventually be deleted.
Samba's lmhosts is the same format as the Windows version. A simple lmhosts file might look like this:. The names on the right side of the entries are NetBIOS names, so you can assign resource types to them and add additional entries for computers:. The other lines are entries for toltec and maya as standard workstations. If you wish to place an lmhosts file somewhere other than the default location, you will need to notify the nmbd process upon startup using the -H option, followed by the name of your lmhosts file, as follows:.
Various daemons and tools in the Samba suite need to perform name resolution. You can define the order in which the programs try each name-resolution method through the name resolve order parameter, like this:. The order in which they are specified is the order in which name resolution will be attempted. In our example, Samba will attempt to use its WINS server first for name resolution, followed by the lmhosts file on the local system.
Next, the hosts value tells it to use Unix name-resolution methods. Finally, if those three do not work, it will perform a broadcast name resolution.
You can set up Samba as a WINS server by setting the wins support parameter in the configuration file, like this:. Believe it or not, that's all you need to do! For most installations, Samba's default configuration is sufficient.
If you do, their WINS databases will not synchronize, resulting in inconsistent name resolution. In it, you might see an entry such as the following:. This tells us that the Linux system is configured to use a DNS server located at The Now it is a simple matter of using the dns proxy option to tell Samba to use the DNS server:. For this reason, we recommend you use dns proxy only to act as a supplement to your WINS server, rather than as a replacement for a DNS server.
This is done with the global wins server configuration option, as shown here:. Note that because the request is directed at a single machine, we don't have to worry about any of the problems inherent in broadcasting. The order in which Samba attempts various name-resolution techniques is given with the name resolve order configuration option, which we discussed earlier.
The wins support and the wins server parameters are mutually exclusive; you cannot simultaneously offer Samba as the WINS server and use another system as the server! If you have a Samba server on a subnet that doesn't have a WINS server, and the Samba server has been configured with a WINS server on another subnet, you can tell the Samba server to forward any name-resolution requests with the wins proxy option:.
Use this only in situations where the WINS server resides on another subnet. Otherwise, the broadcast will reach the WINS server regardless of any proxying.
Samba's name-resolution options are shown in Table Samba will provide WINS name service to all machines in the network if you set the following in the [global] section of the smb. When set to yes , this option is mutually exclusive with the wins server parameter. Samba will use an existing WINS server on the network if you specify the wins server global option in your configuration file.
For example:. For this option to work, the wins support option must be set to no the default. Otherwise, Samba will report an error. You can specify only one WINS server using this option. This option allows Samba to act as a proxy to another WINS server, and thus relay name registration and resolution requests from itself to the real WINS server, often outside the current subnet. The WINS server can be indicated through the wins server option. The proxy will then return the WINS response back to the client.
You can enable this option by specifying the following in the [global] section:. This option allows you to run a script or other program whenever the WINS database is modified.
The script would be specified in the Samba configuration file like this:. This will permit nmbd to query the server's standard DNS. You might wish to deactivate this option if you do not have a permanent connection to your DNS server. The global name resolve order option specifies the order of services that Samba will use in performing name resolution. You can override this option by specifying something like the following:.
You need not use all four options. This option is covered in more detail in Section 7. You should never need to alter this value. You should never need to change this value from its default. You should never need to alter this value from its default. Browsing was developed by Microsoft to help users find shared resources on the network. In a networked computing environment where users can add or remove shares at any time, it is important to have some automatic means of keeping track of the shared resources and allowing users to "browse" through them to find the ones they wish to use.
Before browsing was added to SMB networking, when anyone added a new share, the people with whom they wished to share the data or printer would have to be informed of the share's UNC, using some relatively low-tech method such as speaking to them in person or over the phone, or sending email. Already, this was very inconvenient in large organizations.
To further complicate matters, the users working on client computers had to type in the share's UNC to connect to it. Intrinsic Solutions is an IT service provider. Ok now we are getting somewhere, if I have to "add on" to Samba that at least points me in the right direction. The libsmbclient package has a ticket open in Bugzilla on both Red Hat and Samba teams. PS : it is not because it doesn't show up in the network neighbourhood that it doesn't work. But you have to map the drives yourself instead of clicking around Yes, you can run a daemon and turn your client into a Samba server using wsdd but by default Samba does not handle ws-discovery and you will, indeed, have to configure or edit files as a workaround.
Gnome Files Nautilus apparently gets around this by explicitly using the NT1 protocol for discovery purposes only. Read the following for a comprehensive discussion about this Samba provides a client for the different Unix flavors. You do not need to run any daemon for the Samba client. If you go this route please let me know how it works out! Wish I had a solution for this instead of writing a book about it! Windows 10 is the last version of Windows.
