How do I connect to the USB on my BT hub?

Some distros do and some distros don't!

I have a hdd plugged into the usb port on my BTHub

Windows and other distros connect perfectly but Arch does not.

If I click into my file manager and choose network & press Ctrl+L the box clears at the top and I get Network:///

If I change that to smb://192.168.1.254/ (as some guides recommend)

I get a message saying the 'connection failed: software caused connection abort'

samba is installed

Is there anything I need to install or configure?

Thanks!

The ArchWiki on Samba should help you, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Samba, there is a section for the error you are experiencing and how to fix it.

Add this to /etc/samba/smb.conf:

[global]
client min protocol = CORE
