network share issue

#1 Post by audiolover »

I do not understand what I do wrong:

I installed Debian 10 on my audiopc, it is connected via wired network and has a fixed IP.
There is an M.2 ssd, mounted under "mnt" called M.2_music.

On my Windows 10 pc I want to create a network drive/share to the M.2 so I type in:

\\xxx.xxx.xxx.4\mnt\M.2_music\

and that is where the problem starts. Windows 10 cannot find the audiopc and/or the share?
I can connect to the audiopc via Teamviewer so there is a proper network connection.

Am I missing something? Do I need to install extra packages on the Debian pc?

I have never used Samba, with the previous Debian versions I simply made the network share on my Windows pc.

@audiolover,

If you want your linux computer ("audiopc") to act as a SMB server, you're going to have configure it.

Check https://wiki.debian.org/Samba/ServerSimple or https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/samba if you want more detail.

If possible I would like to do it without Samba.
It worked allways before without having to configure Samba.

If you want Windows to access a folder in your Linux computer, then you're going to need SMB (samba, in Linux). This is what \\server\folder means in Windows.

If you want something else, then you will need to explain what.
