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.
Oh, I rebooted Windows. And it took an hour to think about it and some updates... ;-(
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
Ah, nmb. I forgot. I was restarting smb only. I can't try just now, Windows is processing a batch of photos and I can't risk interruption.
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.
