I try connecting to the network shares of my old windows home server. I’ve tried several ways but non of them let’s me connect to it.
I try to search for shares via Dolphin. It says “no shares found” (sorry, my system language is set to German so I have to translate some error messages), when trying to type in the server address it says timeout.
When I try the Avahi Zeroconf Browser or Smb4k it says the the Zeroconf server is not running (however I could not figure out why and how to start it.
Finally when trying to manually mount manually in the terminel I receive “mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /mnt/Server/videos found in /etc/fstab”
When putting into fstab I just get “mount.cifs: permission denied”
Amazing I could not find those threads with googling “manjaro samba mount” or similar.
Anyways, my samba / cifs connection still won’t work. I repeated those steps mentioned in the guide. The packages all where already installed. And Dolphin still gives me a timeout when trying to connect to my server (with smb://username@server-ip or without…)
That is pointed out in the troubleshooting guide - as a very dangerous protocol - exploited by various ransomware - it was renamed to NT1 and thus it has become a deliberate change to lower the service security
avahi is a service that needs to be enabled and running
