Private SMB share loading indefinitely on Windows

Featured Replies

A few days ago, I built an Unraid server and set up Jellyfin, the Arrs and a VPN. Now I am trying to set up SMB for transferring small files between the server and my PC, which are both on the same local network.

However, I have been stuck for the past six hours. When I put the share in public mode, I can easily connect to it from my PC and transfer files between them, but when I turn on private mode and enter the user credentials that I created on the Unraid server, it just keeps loading indefinitely. It doesn't give me an error message; it just loads for about 10 minutes and then tells me that I have the name wrong. I have already tried several solutions but they haven't helped.

 

this was the most promising solution that had no effect:

1. Press the Windows key + R shortcut to open the Run command window.

2. Type in gpedit.msc and press OK.

3. Select Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Lanman Workstation and double click Enable insecure guest logons and set it to Enabled.

4. Now attempt to access \\tower


this is what i get when i do testparm -s

Any help would be appreciated.

still stuck

I don't see any shares but 'isos'.  Is the share you want to access setup correctly?

 

Go to Settings->SMB and turn off 'Enhanced macOS interoperability:' and see if that helps.  If you don't use a Mac to access the SMB shares, leave it off.

Sadly that did not help, i set up 2 public shares aswell that work perfectly, i was even able to map them. But when i try to use the exact same strategy on the private share it just stays on attempting to connect without any feedback.
this is the new results from testparm -s

Those look fine.  You need to check your Windows computer and delete any saved credentials and then try access again,  You'll be asked for your credentials.

Okay, so i used  "net use * /delete" in powershell and then i deleted all the windows credentials i had saved, still the same error.image.png.9c616a0c8fd93c8a7bdbfe439338a985.png

nope, the password is just plain out "unraid"

I made another unraid account and instead of writing in the ip or server name i pressed browse, that seems to have fixed it for some reason...

edit: another thing i noticed was that pressing browse wrote the server  name in all caps instead of the way i had it set up in unraid.

Windows converts network names to caps.
