Roms on Network Share - "mount error(115): Operation now in progress"

[spm2600]

Using the following;

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myacct,password=mypassword,nounix,noserverino //desktop/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

Which results in;

mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I can ping the host from retropie, on my Windows 10 system sharing files I've enabled SMB1.0/CIFS and rebooted. Also confirmed in Windows firewall settings inbound SMB is allowed on public/private network.

Are you able to access the shared folder from any other machines?
Can you try using the IP address instead of the share name? //x.x.x.x/roms

I've done some reading and that has been one possible cause of the error due to the inability to resolve the name into an IP address.

Don't do that, it's not necessary and it's not recommended for security reasons.
Try using the IP address in the mount command, instead of the desktop hostname.

I removed the Windows features for old SMB, rebooted, tried mapping with IP and it worked. Thanks!
