[Solved]Samba Shares not working for me
-
Would be nice to hope it was that simple for a change :-)
-
Well I did what Buzz said in terminal and still don't work. But I just seen the // and lol I think you may be right I will try \ instead of //. I bet it was that. Cause I use Linux as well and would have never thought of that. Thanks guys appreciate all the help.

This was an known Win 8 SMB security issue.. Check out a buddy of mine's blog: https://www.adamfowlerit.com/2013/05/26/unable-to-map-drives-from-windows-8/

@plasmah77 let us know :-)
-
@Ekstreme let's hope it's the \\ v // :-) umm that doesn't look good as i typed it
-
Nope no worky :(

can you ping the hostname? I guess you know the IP, so if you're client is windows (windows 8 you mentioned) it we definately be \hostname or \ipaddress
What is the error?
-
Yes I can ping the host name and it returns OK. My Pi's IP is 192.168.0.16. It says Unknown Error and gives an error code # when I try to connect with
\\RETROPIEor\\192.168.0.16 -
"#" is the error code?
-
0x80004005

@plasmah77 I added backticks to your post to do inline code - otherwise text will not come out as you intended - see compose help when writing on the forum.

Thanks BuZz

Make sure "Client for Microsoft Networks" is enabled on your network adaptor. If this is there and you've disabled secure negotiate, I have no idea sorry. Every time I've seen this it's secure negotiate option.
Did you reboot after changing the secure negotiate setting?
-
OK Client for Microsoft Networks was not there I just added it. Let me reboot brb
-
Ekstreme It works! that was it... Thanks so much for all the help guys really appreciate it. ;)
