SAMBA share visible in Explorer, but cannot accress

macom · 01 Jul 2017

I have SAMBA shares on a debian server. I can see the shares in Explorer. When I doubble click I am asked for credentials, but when I enter the correct (more than double and triple checked) credentials I get an error indicating that the error is due multiple connections.

In CMD

Code:

net use

does not show any connection.
When I connect to the SAMBA share using

Code:

net use /user:xxx \\server\share username pwd

it is working and I can access the share.

How can I make that I am able to connect to the share in Explorer?

Post your Samba config file. You can use Webmin on the Debian machine to look at the Samba info. Have you made a Samba user for use when connecting to the windows machine to the Linux machine. If running a firewall and Netbios/SMB is blocked, it can cause problems.

Thanks for the feedback.
Samba conf is attached.

Strange thing is, that I can make connection using CMD, but not using Explorer.

Follow these instructions to set Samba at its default. You would need to remove Samba and then add it back in, to allow the Samba machine run in default. HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows
