Windows 11 can't connect to Ubuntu samba shares?

Question

I have problem to connect from Windows 11 to my sambashares on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTSbut to my sambashare on Linux raspberrypi 6.1.21-v8+ the connection works.

When I tested with Windows 10 I was able to connect both Ubuntu's and RaspberryPi's samba shares without problems. Raspberry Pi has Samba version 4.13.13-Debian installed and Ubuntu has Samba version 4.18.6 installed.

Can some help me with this issue?

Answer 1

Hello there,

When we mount the exported Samba share, we’ll authenticate as user pi. Samba knows nothing of pi’s password under Raspbian, so we’ll need to create a password using smbpasswd. I’d recommend you use the same password in Samba that you use in Raspbian, but that’s not required. Add pi’s Samba password as follows:

$ sudo smbpasswd -a pi

New SMB password:

Retype new SMB password:

Hope this resolves your Query !!

Thank you for your answers.

With ip adress or hostname.local (eg. ServerPC.local) it works, so this solution is enough for me. :)
