      Hi,

      I'm unable to connect to my Retropie 3.7 on PI2 with Samba, both on host name and IP address.

      I've enabled Samba in the setting menu, but I haven't done anything else.

      My computer is in an Enterprise Domain (Domain: DOMAIN) configuration with certificates and such, is that an obstacle?

      It seems so straight forward in the guide, however I wonder why it says "Requires Internet Connection". Why should that be a requirement?

      Thank You!

        The domain is most likely an issue. By default, the Pi shows up in the Windows workgroup: WORKGROUP (the default) with a couple of pre-defined shares. I have never seen issues on standard Windows 7/8/10 setups.

        I have worked with domain setups before and could often hit things by IP Address as long as ports weren't blocked. Can you access the Pi via FTP or SSH?

          @mrbwa1 Hi, Thank you for your support. No, neither FTP or SSH is working. Strangely it works when accessing my NAS, so there's no firewall rules that could stop (I'm accessing from my WLAN to my LAN)
