I've just followed a guide on installing Samba, adding a samba user and configuring the smb.conf file
[global]
workgroup = SAMBA
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S, %D%w%S
browseable = No
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @printadmin root
force group = @printadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
[Stuff]
path = /mystuff
guest ok = no
available = yes
valid users = livingroom
read only = no
browsable = yes
writeable = yes
On my Win10 machine I can \192.168.100.6 and get prompted for login (username livingroom) which it accepts. I then see two folders in explorer - 'livingroom' and 'Stuff'
However when I double-click either of them it will try for a while before eventually failing with Error code: 0x80070043 - The network name cannot be found.
Any ideas why its saying the network name cannot be found when i'm using the IP address to access it?
