Hi,
On Linux, on the same desktop machine, I can browse smb network and see myself, and connect to the directory share.
But on Windows 10 I can not see this machine, but I can see another machine (both on openSUSE 42.2).
On a virtual W10 machine (hosted on the desktop machine) I can not see the host machine. However, I can add a network drive by telling the name (\\telcontar\Pictures_share) and see the files in it.
Carlos, welcome to the mysterious world of Windows networking. Walk away, come back in 10 minutes and it will be fixed. OR, Make sure a Linux Samba Box wins all browser elections (OS Lever higher than 65) and then restart nmb on that machine when in a rush. systemctl restart nmb.service This is a maddening problem that people have been fighting for years. If you have a windows machine that is always on, and which wins browser elections (like a domain controller or some server machine) its not so bad, but for me, where windows machines only occasionally connect (and are usually in VMs) its a never ending pain in the neck. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done.
