Update 1709 -- cannot now access W10 shares from Non Windows devices
Hi there
I KNOW this must be a 1709 update -- I have several Windows machines with earlier releases than 1709 and they all work.
With 1709 my NON Windows devices cannot access Windows shares even though they see the computer and can ping it. Connecting via IP also doesn't work.
I read somewhere that Ms has now disabled SMB or SAMBA access from Non Windows devices --thanks Ms !!!! now half the planets devices won't work any more !!!
Why on earth does Ms do things like this --break perfectly good functioning systems --or at least give some sort of warning so people can look for alternatives.
I certainly don't want to manually mount a whole slew of CIF partitions on each android / linux / NAS device I'm using.
Anybody got this stuff working
I tried also accesssing via CIFS -- still not working

somebody mentioned something about re-install "certificate" bit I haven't got a clue what that means or how to do it.
Note Windows TO Windows is fine as is Window TO the android / Linux devices. It's the Android / linux devices TO Windows that's the problem.
I have a load of media files on a Windows share which I want my media server (KODI) on the non Windows device to stream. It's an amazon fire stick (the small one) so I can't locally attach the media files !!! - In any case the whole point is to stream over a network anyway.
Cheers
