Try typing the IP of the mint box. I have the same problems occasionally with Ubuntu Server and typing the direct IP usually loads it back up immediately.

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.

i've spent some time on this issue myself.

 

ant the problem is in how well samba is supported... on the windows side...

 

theres this issue within samba -that mostly shows up when logging in anonymously for some reason- where a windows server cannot properly detect the samba version of the linux client, and things go derp.

 

in some very rare cases this even happens between windows serverside and windows clientside.

 

i have two near identical laptops, one of them connects fine to my samba server, one doesnt...

--

the most reliable way of fixing this is to set parameters on your linux box to be the exact needed parameters (theres multiple threads of exactly this issue all over all linux forums)

a more permanent fix would be starting to use logins, whch magically resolves most of these issues happening...

--

as for the windows network tab... thats less reliable than buying vague chinese power supplies for a folding rig...
