Can't connect to LAN share - OK in Windows

[ralphy]

Hi Tom,

Assuming your Lite 3.8 is up to date, it should be at samba v4.3.
** Windows 8.1 and newer as well as almost everyone else has abandoned smb1.1 protocol support. Still an option for compatibility reasons but not secure as you may be aware.

Tell the Lite box to negotiate a protocol other than 1.1 (which is probably what's not doing)... as follows:
From Terminal (all one line):

Code:

sudo sed -i 's/.*netbios name.*/client min protocol = SMB2\nclient max protocol = SMB3\n&/' /etc/samba/smb.conf && sudo systemctl restart smbd nmbd

The above tells samba to negociate SMB2 as minimum protocol when connecting via smb as a client. It will likely use SMB3 though. That should do it.
Cheers!
