@FullScale4Me,

A similar warning to

I noticed in your previous post in this thread that you had two Ubuntu PCs.

I just did some testing (with smbclient) in Virtual Box with Ubuntu 22.10 (desktop ed). If the login account has NOT been added to the SMB id database AND a SMB password set it will throw an error rather than list shares, even in a local context --- '....NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT...' stands out.

Extraneous technobabble only a programmer could love deleted from the error message (the leading ... and trailing ...). Yeah, 'old school' editing form, what I was taught in the mid-'60s!

@CharlesV

Code: Select all

smbtree

on one of the AVLinux seems to reveal an error, if I read it correctly ('No compatible protocol selected by server')?

Code: Select all

So it looks like your two computers have different samba protocols and cannot talk to each other. I saw no server protocol specified, so it probably went to SMB3.. I think I would try in both computers /etc/samba/smb.conf files setting, I use:

Code: Select all

  workgroup = CEO
   client min protocol = COREPLUS
   server max protocol = SMB3
   name resolve order =  host wins bcast lmhosts 
   wins support = yes

I also always set my host files to show my machines I want to look at, I find it works faster and is stable ! But supposedly the proper name resolve is

Code: Select all

 name resolve order =  bcast wins host lmhosts

Also, I dont see any drives shared on your computers, and according to the samba docs, it will ONLY activate as a server if you have one or more shares.
