lonebear Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 And I have the unluck of this unraid issue. Working on trying to restore SMB to my unraid for well over 6 months now. Tried every fix here and in other threads to no avail. tower-diagnostics-20230220-0945.zip Quote Link to comment

lonebear Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Raid has SMB enabled. Was functioning until about (mumble) months ago - I can search for my first post on the failure if necessary. ping, NFS, console, terminal, etc (I.E. _ALL_ other access to server functional. Failure sequence (text. screen caps if needed) explorer | this pc | map network drive selection box: chose drive letter click browse browse for folder box appears click on "tower" get error: "\\TOWER is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The specified network provider name is invalid." I have verified SMB1 off, 2/3 on. I have run through adding a credential. I have gone through the multi-page pdf from elsethread. Quote Link to comment

Add a credential to your Unraid server in Credential Manager. (Delete any other credential for your Unraid server. Only one credential per server!) Now make sure that you have created a Share access User on your Unraid server that matches to the one in Credential Manager. Go to Settings >>> SMB and make sure the following is set to "Yes (Workgroup)" Make sure that you go to the Share that you will be mapping to your PC and change that user to have access to the share. See below: Notice that you will have to turn on 'Export' and also grant the 'Share access User' (that you created earlier) permission to access the Share! Reboot your Windows PC Now try to map the share. If you have a problem, please post up screen captures of any and all error messages. Quote Link to comment
lonebear Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I will look at your suggestions and past the results below. But to be CRYSTAL CLEAR the system was fully functional with SMB and stopped with NO changes being made by me. The SMB settings are as they have been since before the fail, and Enable SMB is: Yes (Workgroup). And my Windows box is in Workgroup. My settings - from when it was working HAD SMB exports, Security of public. Changed to Private with R/W for my user. Same exact failure. There is only 1 windows credential to the server by _name_ (not ip), which I added during this latest round of failures. As noted in my 2nd from last line. Do you mean remove and re-add the same credential? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Delete all credentials to your Unraid so they can be renegotiated. At Windows command prompt net use * /delete Make sure you have an Unraid user setup to access the share you want to access. Access that share and no other. Login with that Unraid user. Once Windows has negotiated a user to a remote system, it won't allow any other user. It will pointlessly ask you to login, but it won't use another user. Quote Link to comment
lonebear Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I have done that before during my test and will try this again. But again. WHY did this stop working. Unclear: Should I remove all my maps on the windows box also. Quote Link to comment

You should remove all these until after you get things working as these can cause problems if Windows tries to connect them with the wrong user. Quote Link to comment
lonebear Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 100% fail. I can not attempt to chose a share, which is set to what I had before it stopped working AND what was listed above. When I browse to tower I get the error: Windows cannot access \\tower Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there may be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose. When I enter the IP in the explorer selection bar I see my NFS shares. When I enter \\tower\ i also only see my NFS shares Quote Link to comment
lonebear Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 no share. attempted with no user (and yes, i checked/reset unraid user password) - fail. added user to credential manager. both with name and ip both fail. interestingly, if I click on the win10 DESKTOP in the Browse for Folder it also returns "...Not accessible..."

trurl Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 6 minutes ago, lonebear said: checked/reset unraid user password Do you mean the Unraid user named 'root'? That user has no network access to shares, and is treated as a guest with no special access. Quote Link to comment
lonebear Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 No. Root is not touched. Why in gods name would I touch root. Other than being sacrocent. It was never mentioned above. Note my comment. USER password Quote Link to comment
lonebear Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 checked my /etc/sabba/smb-shares.conf and all shares show there with correct options Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) See the following Control Panel window. The navigation to it is on the Address bar: Make sure that you are set to a 'Private' network profile and it is marked "(current profile)". Then make sure that the two indicated radio buttons are selected. (The naming of these three options can be a bit confusing at first. 'Private' is the one intended for connecting to networks are designed to be secure-- like your home. 'Guest or Public' is for connecting to open networks like the WiFi connections at airports or McDonald's.) Edited February 20, 2023 by Frank1940 Quote Link to comment
lonebear Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Already done. As stated in the fact that I've run through all the steps in the multi page pdf that everyone points to. It was set this way when it stopped working. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Do you have any other Windows computer you can try with? Quote Link to comment
shpitz461 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) @lonebear, did you try this? Also, when you ping Tower do you get ipv6 or ipv4? If you disable ipv6 on the Windows NIC, are you able to access shares? Adding Windows Credential also helps. Also, before you try to map a network drive, try to browse to the share to make sure credentials are prompted for. Finally, your Windows machine is on the same workgroup?

lonebear Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 @shpitz461 I have never had IPv6 running. All the other questions have been tried and answered. Quote Link to comment
lonebear Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Yup. even worse now. Can not even mount NFS shares. Going backwards at light speed now. Quote Link to comment

Frank1940 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) I just checked and I have found that I can only establish one SMB connection to my Unraid server from my Windows 10 client. What I mean by this Is I can either use the \\<SERVER_NAME> or \\<IP_ADDRESS> This is a change from what use to work in that you could use both from a single Windows client and have two logins to the server from one client. Before anyone asks, I don't what is going and I don't know what changed. Using the server_name and IP_Address has always been known to be a work_around and not supported officially by anyone... I do not have NFS setup on my Windows machine so I don't know what happens in that case. It may be that having an NFS connection may prevent having a SMB connection (and vice/verse). No proof that this is true but it is one possibility! Edited February 21, 2023 by Frank1940 Quote Link to comment

lonebear Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 @trurlI will find/build a new win box sometime today. I personally changed nothing. I do allow windows to update its own security. Quote Link to comment
shpitz461 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Are you running a Windows install from official MS ISO? or a customized ISO? I ran into these issues in the past with some slimmed-down Win1x ISO's. What I'm doing now is test a new slimmed-down ISO in a VM before I try it on bare-metal. Quote Link to comment
lonebear Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Running from original install on the box from manufacturer. Not a custom anything. No changes have been made by me before the shares failed. ALL changes have been done since NFS and SMB failed. The system is now even less useful as I can only see/access one of my regular shares, which were all accessible under NFS before I tried all these 'fixes'. And before you ask, I have rebooted the windows box after each attempted fix. Quote Link to comment
