Samba 4 Adn Win 10

Post by linuxman74 » 2018/02/22 10:20:00

Hi,
I have a CentOS 7 with Samba 4.6.2
I show it in Network Place on each Windows 7 and other Linux but not on Wind 10.
If i try with \\<ip_address> it work but not with \\<linux_name>
Why?

p.s.
Sorry for my bad english.

You can try this:

In your smb.conf file add this below the 'workgroup=' line

Code: Select all

client max protocol = SMB3
Restart samba and see if you can connect with win10.

Is it in DNS or have you added it to your Windows hosts file?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Oops, I missed the fact that it works on ip address. Not enough coffee this morning I guess.

I would think the place to start looking is DNS - TREVORH I think your spot on here.

Can you ping the samba server via its FQDN from the windows 10 box?
