Windows 10 and samba config

[ganchito55]

Now in Windows 10 with this samba config, Xbian isn't shown in network explorer

[mk01]

@ganchito55

try uncomment that line (smb ports) and add the one below

# smb ports = 445
disable netbios = yes

in smb.conf (/etc/samba)

but more likely the problem is within default win10 configuration (to require user/pass(encrypted)) for communication - it is possible to change that in registry.

Sorry this doesn't work. However I can add my RP if I choose "Add network unit", but I have read only permissions in all folders and files despite they have 777 permissions.

I'm going to try this https://techjourney.net/cannot-connect-to-cifs-smb-samba-network-shares-shared-folders-in-windows-10/

Update

I continue with problems, I did the registry change however I also have read only permissions:

[mk01]

@ganchito55

the registry change is reverting windows to accept again "share" model of network shares - that means also allowing access without password or with clear text password.

even WITH this reg change applied, share xbian is accessible with WRITE permission only to user xbian with valid password (samba password) which is initially set to "raspberry".

---

in general for others as well: if even after this registry change xbian (or other samba device on network), would not be seen, most likely samba is not set according the new requirements: solution - set samba to conform to this requirement of SMB2 (let's call it this way).

first, samba needs to be set at least to share = user. also, unencrypted passwords must be set to disabled.
XBian IS set like this by default.

Thanks I fixed the read only problem, however Windows still doesn't show XBian in Network explorer.

[mk01]

unfortunately don't have w10 to test/fix by myself, but will keep this in mind

if you find solution by yourself please post back, ...
(let's keep this issue open anyhow)

@ganchito55

only what I found on google is discussions where this helped, but we did already :-/

disable netbios = yes
smb ports = 445

and is workgroup name WORKGROUP ?

[mk01]

@ganchito55

can you go through this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2696547 and try to disable smb3, perhaps smb2 too ?

I've reinstalled XBian on Cubox, and have similar problem, with windows 7 and also Ubuntu. XBian didn't appear on WORKGROUP. i can connect manually on windows, and on UBUNTU, i can see in Network, but not in WORKGROUP. i've tried a bit and don't find solution yet. if i find something, will post here. From what i can read until now, it's maybe due to the router.

[ganchito55]

@mk01 Yes It is in WORKGROUP

I tried to disable smb3 and smb2 and use only smb1 but It didn't work
