[SOLVED]Samba and Huawei Backup

Hi Everybody,

I hope this is the right place for this post.

I set up last week a small home server with Arch Linux. Everything is working perfect but i have a small problem with smb shared folder. I would like to backup my phone with the Huawei Suite using the wifi but it can't find the shared folder. It write always to check if the Phone and the NAS are on the same network. I tried with an external app to manage file for Android and i can see all the shared folder. Yesterday just for trying I installed an Ubuntu on 2 different Virtual machine (1 one on Manjaro and one on Windows host) and i setted up samba. The Huawei suite can find immediately the backup folder on the wifi. I did the same experiment with Fedora and i have the same issue as in Arch.

I took the smb.conf file from Ubuntu and I copied it in Arch but still not finding the shared folder. I modified also /etc/hosts as it was in Ubuntu with any result. I also tried to disable the firewall without success. I checked the samba log file but i didn't find any error.

I now is a stupid problem but it's really starting to frustrating me.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for your help! 

I solved adding this in my smb.conf

client min protocol = CORE
server min protocol = CORE
