Can't connect to shared network drive?

Hey, guys.

I had finally gotten Samba working on my old laptop so that I could access the shared drive plugged into my router, but that laptop died, so I installed Manjaro on a partition on my other laptop.

I’ve installed the Samba settings package, and edited the smb.conf file to change the min client protocol to NT1, but I currently can’t see the folder on the router. Last weekend when I was fooling with it, I did get it to where it was able to see it, but it gave me an error message dealing with password, even though I’m certain the username and password I was using were both correct. Windows 10 on the other partition connects with no issues.

This laptop is updated to current versions of everything.
Thanks for any help,
Adrian

:+1: Welcome to Manjaro! :+1:

  1. Please read this:
    How to provide good information
    and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
  3. The output to smbclient --list=m.n.o.p --no-pass would be helpful as well.

:+1:

P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time

Thank you. It’ll be the weekend at least before I can get back to it, but I’ll do that. Really appreciate your time.

The result of the smbclient command is:

Appreciate any direction from here.

Thanks,

Have you tried with Smb4K? It’s a user-friendly all-in-one GUI made specifically for KDE for managing and connecting to SMB network shares. You can specify the SMB protocol version and authentication mode.

pamac install smb4k

It gives you a lot of control.

However, version 3.1 was recently released and is likely to be included in the next batch of stable KDE updates in Manjaro. Version 3.1 is a complete re-haul on custom mount options and other settings, so you’ll have to re-configure your settings again after Smb4K updates to version 3.1.

That means the router is doing something different than NT1. Can you log into a console and provide both the router’s smb.conf and your local machine’s?
