Samba driving me nuts

[TheMIneGeek]

Hello guys,

 

I'm here because is need help with Samba. I'm actually running à samba share on an lxc container. I'm using samba 4.3.11 on Ubuntu 14.04.5

My problem is that I can't access that share from certain computer. I have Windows Server 2012 running on a container which connects without any problem. My laptop connects aswell without any problem (Windows 10 Family, build 15036.138) but my desktop definitly doesn't want to (Windows 10 Family, build 15036.138) .

 

I hope you can help me. I don't which informations you could need so feel free to ask. I hope my english didnt hurt your eyes too hard =D

 

Have a good day,

TheMineGeek

How are you doing this?

 

Why are you running samba in a container?

 

Did you use the ip or the hostname?

My bad, WS 2012 is running on a VM but for samba, it is on a container.

I run it on a container because it was working well that way until i try to connect to it from my desktop.

I tried with both ip adress and domain name (using my dns)

What error do you get when you try to connect 

 

Try turning off all the firewalls.

Firewall is already off. I get " Windows cannot access adress" @Electronics Wizardy

Can you ping that container 

[TheMIneGeek]

Yes without any problem. Container is also hosting Plex and it works like a charm @Electronics Wizardy

So after, a bit of research, I listened to tcp paquets (445/tcp) from my computer to see what could be wrong et compared with my laptop for which it's working well. The major difference that i spotted is that after my laptop send his smb request, he gets an answer and then switch to smb2 protocol but my desktop doesn't do. He send negotiation paquet, receive answer and then nothing ...

I tried activating / deactivating smb2 to make the service restart but it didn't change anything

If anyone has an idea, I would take it. If none has, could you help me to know were I can ask that question ?

PS: I didn't try to reset my computer and I'd like as much as possible to don't have to

PS2: On my laptop, I tried to reach samba with wifi and using the same internet cable as my desktop and both worked

Do you have the exact same username and password on both your laptop and desktop? Is samba password protected?

[TheMIneGeek]

Yes I have. Samba is also password protected @NZLaurence
