SMB - Failed to retrieve share list from server: Success

Utini · 2017-10-04 09:45:50

Hey everyone,

on my new HTPC with GNOME + Nemo I wanted to share my 2nd HDD to my local network with samba.

1. I right click the drive "/mnt/Files/" in Nemo -> Share -> Share this folder + Allow others to create/delete + Guest access
2. Then from my laptop trying to connect to "MYGROUP" via Nemo: Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server: Success

My laptop can connect fine via SMB to e.g. an external drive that is connected + shared via my Router.

testparm:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)

Since my laptop can connect to other smb shared folder I guess it must be a server problem?
I can connect to the server via localhost but not with local network from my laptop though.
When trying to open "MYGROUP" in Nemo on my server/htpc then I get the same error (this should be a localhost connection but suddenly isnt working?).

Any suggestions? Thanks !

smbpasswd -a samba_user
