      Yes I want to acces it from a Windows PC. No I didn't add it to DNS. Can we add this to the guide?

      I meant if you are used to the Windows world (which I am), the devices just automagically add themselves to DNS.

      I have memorized all my Linux box IPs because I haven't had the desire to add them into DNS manually yet. Which made me wonder if it was the same issue.

      I'm just attempting to mount the drive. With a static IP I don't think that's required, right? Or do you mean to make it discoverable on the network? It's probably required for that.

      Right, I was answering the "discoverable on the network", but actually "by name" which I now realize isn't what you are asking.

      Oh I see. Yeah

        @Romo No but maybe I did it wrong. Does the path look like this?

        \\192.168.1.202\etc\home\public

        Should be \\192.168.1.202\public if your share is named public. It should also be visible if you go to \\192.168.1.202

        In the guide the share name is called public, check your smb.conf to make sure the name of share and your path to the folder is correct .

        [public]
        path = /home/public
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = Yes
        public = Yes

          @wirestyle22 I'm confused do you want to make it discoverable when using network discovery on windows?

            @tiagom I'd like to know how to do that but even just mapping at this point would achieve my goal.

              @Romo Still don't know where I'm going wrong here 😞 Is this correct?

                @wirestyle22 It seems fine. Can you post the output of smbclient -L localhost ran from your samba server please.

                    @Romo I did not output smbclient -L localhost yet. I'll do that when I get home today. The other steps you took were the same steps I did. We'll see what happens with the command. Thanks!

                            -Modify your global config settings :
                            map to guest = Bad User you wrote Bad user

                            Restart your services
                            systemctl restart smb.service
                            systemctl restart nmb.service

                            Check your folder owner and permissions again.

                              @Romo It's detectable now but It prompted me to login. Realized none of my work PC's are Windows 10 and I am not sure what the account is considered locally, being an online account. [email protected] would make the domain @gmail.com

                              When I restarted the services they error'd out so I just performed sudo reboot
