So if you have done all that on your windows machine omv will require changes to the network settings: Domain name needs to be the same as the windows workgroup, click save then apply changes, under interfaces double click on the network displayed (mine is eth0, scroll down and under dns settings add the dns which is usually your router but check your windows machine. Back to Network and Sharing click on connections this will either be Ethernet or Wireless, Click on Properties, Select (TCP/IPv4) and click on properties, bottom right hand corner click on advanced, selecl the WINS tab and you will see the NetBIOS setting this is always set to Default and if you read the info it needs changing to the option Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. “Control Panel>Networking and Sharing Center ensure that Network discovery is turned and if necessary file and print sharing this is done under Advanced sharing settings. The above output shows that the service has been started successfully.I tried the following from two of the contributors:

Start the service using this command: sudo systemctl start smbdĬonfirm the service status using this: $ sudo systemctl status smbd The service will not be started by default. Use this command to achieve that: sudo ufw allow samba 5. If you have ufw firewall installed and enabled, you need to enable the samba service through firewall.
