Hello,
I have been trying for many, many hours to access my samba drive from my Windows 10 client PC but to no avail. Admittedly, I am a total Linux noob and have been relying on the scattered online discussions on this topic to find a solution. I honestly believe at this point I have tried everything my brain can comprehend, but I just can't get it to work. Windows fails to map the network drive ("Windows cannot access \\[UbuntuServerIP]\home. Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.")
The following thread gave me some inspiration: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2486949
So I will list the output to these commands here:
testparm -s
net usershare info --long
hostname
Anything you can do to help guide me towards a solution is greatly appreciated.
