Setting Up and Sharing Files on the Network - Not fixed but solved [Solved]

[CharlesV]

When you start UFW, you will see on the main screen under Firewall a dropdown with Home, Office and Public. I have seen people turn off Home and have Office or Public still be engaged and be a problem.

For testing, choose home, turn if off. Then public, and turn that off, and then Office and once again turn it off.

Then see if you can see computer1 in the network. It SHOULD show up, or something else is going on.

[Falcon]

Office and Public were still on, so I turned them off. When I browse the network on computer #2, computer #1 still does not show up.

[CharlesV]

Is computer1 in the same network as 2 & 3 ?

meaning - no vpn's or other network restriction?

What are your IP addresses and subnets for computer1, 2 and 3?

And do you have Ap isolation on in your wifi?
( ie can you ping computer1 from computer2 ? )

[Falcon]

No VPN.

For computer #1 External IP Address 74.67.104.227. Address from Router 192.168.50.178 This computer is on wi-fi

For computer #2 External IP Address 74.67.104.227. Address from Router 192.168.50.246 This computer is on wi-fi

For computer #3 External IP Address 74.67.104.227. 192.168.50.12 This computer is on ethernet from the router.

From the Terminal on computer #2, I typed "Ping 192.168.50.178" and got a growing list of what looked like responses from computer #1.

and both the same, as well as the same for my test vm ... This screams of samba not running or being blocked on computer1

[CharlesV]

If you look in /var/log/samba/

You should see a log.smbd are there any errors in that log?

[Falcon]

var/log/samba folder is empty. No log.smbd.
