CentOS 7.4 and windows hosts on vmware

[kd0]

i got CentOS 7.4 installed on vmware, i installed minimal, then installed gnome

when i go to my windows hosts folder i dont see my windows machines even though sharing is on windows 10 and its not password protected either, there are shared drives

or is there a setting in vmware workstation 12 i need to set that someone knows of? or something i need to install like an RPM? i installed samba by doing a yum -y install samba samba-common

but that didnt solve the issue

is there something else i could install or try? im kinda a linux newb

OK, as I'm not sure that I have understood you correctly I will need you to clarify some facts.
1.Wingows 10 host, CentOS 1708 with Vmware for virtualization
2.Windows host shares a folder but CentOs can't see.

As the CentOS will be a client you will need more packages.You can find some details in the wiki. To verify that the samba on CentOS can see the share use

Code: Select all

smbclient -U username -L //windows10/shared_dir

(replace with relevant hostname or ip and shared folder's name).

yes im running winblows 10 with vmware workstation 12, sharing is enabled on all drives but centos doesnt see them in /mnt

im running CentOS latest version with minimal install then GNOME + Graphics Admin Tools

CentOS was installed first, then cpanel, then gnome..
trust me cpanel is not going to help me with this, they only support themselves.. it is still cent OS it might just need some adjusting to the repos im not sure, i dont see how samba would interfere with anything

the connection is bridged through my atheros e2200 killer lan and the lan ip of the virtual machine is 192.168.0.17
the server fqdn is server.coleshosting.net

ports for samba 445 and 135 are forwarded on the router, so are the rest of the needed ports (sftp, ftp, ssh..imap..dns.. etc)


heres what it tells me do i have a repo problem?
