Problem: Samba setup.....Idiot guide required??
#2
Microsoft Windows I suppose. It's a PITA these days.

I have an old copy of Window 10 Pro set up as a guest operating system in VirtualBox on my Linux laptop.

Since Microsoft has SMB1.0 protocol support turned off by default, none of my Linux-based SMB servers show up in the File Browser.

However, if I right-click on "This PC" or "Network" in the File Browser and select "map network drive" I can map one or more SMB shares to Windows drives.

For example, the SDCARD share on a moOde player imaginatively named "moode"

\\moode\SDCARD is mapped to drive Z:

and the MUSIC share on an OpenMediaVault server named "omv-hc1"

\\omv-hc1\MUSIC is mapped to drive Y:

Kent
