Networking and servers • Re: what the hell is wrong with this???

I can lend you a hammer but can't help without more info from you.

1. Don't post just the share definition. There are things in the [global] section that are relevant. Instead post the output from the following:

   Code:

   testparm -s

2. Tell us what errors you're seeing and on which clients.
3. Tell us what credentials your using on clients
4. Tells us if you have created Samba users or not.
5. You don't need both "public" and "guest ok" they're synonyms.
6. You don't need both "writeable" and "read only". They're antonyms.
7. Read the documentation at https://www.samba.org/
8. Read the relevant parts (that's at least sections 5, 14, and possibly 9) of Building A Pi Based NAS

I could say more but without more info from you I'd be wasting both of our time.
