Windows 11 SMB Client cannot connect to SMB share - error 53 on `net view`

Machine in question: Windows 11 21H2 22000.832
OSes on other devices that can successfully connect to the share: MacOS Ventura built-in SMB; iOS 16.5 built-in SMB; ES File Explorer on iOS, Windows 10; etc.
Share Host: TrueNAS-13.0 with domain name truenas.lan and NETBIOS name ALANG-NAS

After swimming through unuseful posts for hours, I felt the need to start actively seeking help.

Situation: The win11 SMB Client cannot connect to an SMB share hosted on the same network with its own fully qualified domain name. I cannot connect to it either via domain name or IP address.

As I was typing this, I found that I cannot connect to any SMB share on my network anymore..

net view \\192.168.10.5\Vault  
  
System error 53 has occurred.  
  
The network path was not found.  

The network page is populated. Double-clicking on the computer that contains the share results in the same error as trying to connect using NetBIOS name

Things I have tried

  1. netsh winsock reset
  2. Enabling SMBv1 support on both client and host
  3. resetting network via Settings

I am beyond desperate now and really do not wish to reset my PC. Any help will be appreciated.

    Estimados,

    El problema puede ser que el firewall esta bloqueando la conexión en el computador que esta compartiendo carpetas compartidas por SMB,...

    Para realizar la prueba realicen lo siguiente:

    En Windows es fácil desactivarlo en el panel de control...

    En Linux deben ingresar el comando en una terminal "sudo ufw disable"

    luego intenten conectarse nuevamente desde Windows... en una ventana cmd ingresen el comando "start \IP"

    In my /etc/samba/smb.conf, I fixed it by commented out the line map to guest = bad user

    For people who's user names in windows is not matching in linux you can add this to /etc/samba/smbd.conf username map = username.map

    In a new file called username.map put in... linuxuser = windowslogin@outlook.com windowslogin@hotmail.com

    Change the above user/logins to your local linux user name & windows login email(not the local user name). You can add multiple windows logins for every linux user.
