Can't access shares on my network

[rudolfl]

Hi all,

This is a new installation and I am trying to access shares on my network.

On network I have Windows machines, linux samba shares and linux-based NAS devices. All devices are visible from Windows machines. All machines are in same workgroup "HOME".

When I open Dolphin and go to Network->Sambe Shares, I can see folder "Home" which should contain my shares. Trying to access it gives an error: "Timeout on server".

Any ideas how I can get to my network drives?

Thanks,
Rudolf

Hi

Why is it one finds an answer right after posting a question.
OK, solution was:

1. install samba (yes, it was not installed as part of installation!)
2. Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to do following:

under [global]
change workgroup to your workgroup name
Add after workgroup:

client max protocol = SMB3
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins

Restart samba

I believe line that specifies resolver order made all the difference
