Uanble to connect to local Samba server

So, it seems my server is indeed using a deprecated protocol! (ubuntu’s default, you would maybe like to know). Let’s try to force a more modern one:

[global] 
        workgroup = WORKGROUP 
        server string = %h server 
        dns proxy = no 
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m 
        max log size = 1000 
        syslog = 0 
        panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d 
        client min protocol = SMB2 
        client max protocol = SMB3 
 
[server] 
        comment = media server 
        browsable = yes 
        path = /home/jan/hardeschijf/ 
        guest ok = yes 
        read only = no 

I just examined your change to the Ubuntu samba server. BTW, which version of Ubuntu are you using?

Anyway, I note that you specified ‘client min protocol = SMB2’ and ‘client max protocol = SMB3’, but for server directives this should be

min protocol = SMB2
max protocol = SMB3

These directives a synonyms for ‘server min protocol’ and ‘server max protocol’ respectively.

Reference
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html

With a share allowing guest access, it should be possible to mount on the fly using…

sudo mount -t cifs -o nosuid,nodev,relatime,gid=100,uid=1000,guest,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 //192.168.178.72/server/Server/Music /media/music

Of course it shouldn’t! ****, that’s quite obvious.
And you know what? It solved my all of my problems! Thanks for the help all, you have been very patient.

That is fine. Often it is just the discussion that helps.
