Cannot access Samba shares from Windows 10

2

I have a Windows 10 PC that has a problem accessing a network share.

The firewall is disabled, network is local, I tried accessing by IP address or domain name. Same workgroup. What is even more weird, from a Ubuntu VM on the same PC I AM able to access the same share, so it's something in Windows settings and not a networking problem.

I've went through quite a few answers on Super User and the web, but so far nothing worked.

Do you get any decent error messages? Does the connection time-out or anything else? As it stands, it is impossible to diagnose the problem. – R-D – 2015-12-18T10:58:55.367

Windows 10 introduced a new version of the smb protocol and is possible incompatible with Sambe at the moment – Marin Althuis – 2015-12-18T11:09:13.720

no meaningful messages :( and btw, I have another Win10 Pc on the same LAN and it accesses the share just fine – reflog – 2015-12-19T11:31:37.013

I have got the same problem. I can ping the device but cant access the Network Share drive. – Marshal – 2016-01-05T16:10:12.257

Try How to detect, enable and disable SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3 in Windows and Windows Server. Windows 10 tries to negotiate SMB3_11, which Samba does not yet support.

Another possibility UNC Hardening (enabled by default in Windows 10) - try access an SMB share by the servers's FQDN and check that same name is in the server's smb.conf file. DNS aliases don't work.

Can you add a little explanation of how to accomplish the second paragraph? Thanks. – fixer1234 – 2016-09-16T16:08:17.883
