November 17, 20169 yr Community Expert Try rebooting the router.... (I would bet that your router table now has two identical MAC addresses in it.)
November 17, 20169 yr Community Expert And what does it say the IP address for the server is (at the right side of the banner)?
November 17, 20169 yr Community Expert I am assuming that \\192.168.1.6 in Windows Explorer (The file manager) does not bring up the server. What is the error? I also assume that you have tried all of the computers on your network and they all behave the same. When you look at the Network icon (or type Network into the address bar on Windows Explorer), what do you see? Another thing to try. From the command line on your server, type nmblookup -S WORKGROUP where WORKGROUP is the name of your workgroup. You should get a complete list of all the computers that are using SMB in that workgroup. If you see a line with .._MSBROWSER_. That is the master browser for that workgroup.
November 17, 20169 yr Author When I type the ip in explorer im prompted to enter a username and password. I have all shares set to public. All machines doing the same thing. How come the ip is coming up 192.168.122.1? Thats weird right?
November 18, 20169 yr When you see a 192.168.122.1 address, you know you are on the internal virtual bridge, usually virbr0. You want the external bridge br0, so just select it. If you don't see it, go to Network settings and turn on bridging.
November 18, 20169 yr Have you setup any users? Or are you trying to do all of this as root? If so, setup a user and then try and access from windows as that user.
November 18, 20169 yr Author Guys thanks for the help but I reverted back to 6.1.19. I just reinstalled and all my shares are back. I have no idea what i screwed up. Just dont have the time to have my shares down. Thanks for the help and hopefully somehow i can resolve this at a later time.
