[SOLVED] Samba share doens't appear at network section RRS feed

[kainblock]

I am trying to reach my samba server although does not appear on network selection and I have to do this manually from PowerShell

net use F: \\SERVERHOME\MANOS





or from file manager adding this on address bar.

\\SERVERHOME\MANOS.




Older versions of windows reach the server at network section
although windows 10 they don't. Is a feature that I want back because
make thing harder for my colleagues



I can reacah server Via Ping

ping serverhome

It appears the blame is actually Ubuntu doesn't include a program, installed by default, that would allow it to show windows 10 the servers. Installing 1 program on Ubuntu, fixes it as shown in the 1st link below.

With Windows 10 version 1511, support for SMBv1 and thus NetBIOS device discovery was disabled by default. Depending on the actual edition, later versions of Windows starting from version 1709 (“Fall Creators Update”) do not allow the installation of the SMBv1 client anymore.

This causes hosts running Samba not to be listed in the Explorer’s “Network (Neighborhood)” views. While there is no connectivity problem and Samba will still run fine, users might want to have their Samba hosts to be listed by Windows automatically.

Sorry for delayed anwser. Thinks keep me away from that minor issue. I follow the steps and I made it.
Its possible windows machine needs restart before log in at samba share.

Thank you very much.
