I can see the Linux computer on the network devices from my Windows 10 pc, but it tells me, “The network path was not found” when I try to open it. I get the same error when I try to type in the IP address (\192.168.1.xxx).
I’ve followed the tutorial stickied here about setting up Samba. https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/520609-Configure-Samba-for-a-Workgroup-in-the-local-LAN
I’ve installed the wsdd add-on (which is why I can see my computer on the network) following this: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/540083-Samba-Network-Device-Type-for-Windows-10
I can map the Windows 10 pc shares to my linux machine, and open those shares just fine, but I really need to be able to go the other direction.
I should also note that my Windows 10 pc and linux pc are both connected to the same Windows domain with the same credentials.
Here’s my smb.conf file contents:
# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.

I changed the name of my domain to “domainname” here.
I don’t know if this will help, but here’s the contents of my “/etc/samba/” folder:

Let me know what other information you need, my brain is a little fired right now.
Thanks in advance.
