@10vorne said in Samba and /opt/retropie/configs:

@sleve_mcdichael Just to be sure, the config folder shared by Samba by default is the config folder under /opt/retropie/configs?

That's correct. You can look inside it and verify.

You might want to have a look at this article and see if it could be your issue.

Hi,
thanks, I got it working now. After checking all different settings of my router hardware and the powerline adapters, I resetted the powerline / WiFi adapter to factory defaults an reconfigured it. Strange enough, without changing anything, it works now. I guess that it was a problem with the firmware of the powerline / WiFi adapter since the web interface wasn't available on this specific adapter as well.

@mitu
Yes I can access the share no problem if I mount it manually with the pi user. It's just not mounting at boot.
I'll have a check of mount later as I'm out all day.
Thanks
Rob

@moltke44 I think you've been bitten by this change in Win10 which disables the guest browsing of shares, specifically for Enterprise and Educational versions of the OS. That's why for me (Win 10 Professional) still works, but not for you.
You can try the workaround described here, which I wouldn't recommend, especially if your computer is domain managed and there are security policies in place. Another option is to disable guest access in the RetroPie file sharing service (Samba), but that's a little more involved and it's not so straightforward.

If you're not blocking the port yourself, check with your ISP. RetroPie doesn't come with any firewall rules configured (unless you did so).

@pma7779 The configs folder is accessible through \\retropie\configs, just like the roms file share

@thedatacereal perfect! Thank you.
