Samba and Fixed Ip issues

[otello.an]

I have a problem that is driving me crazy!

I have a local network with various PCs (all Debian distributions) and I use samba to share files on my network.
Many PCs have an Ethernet connection, others WIFI. They almost have a fixed address. Everything works perfectly.
Recently installed a new debian machine (12.5). And initially everything works fine, I can see the other samba shares and exchange files...

Then I put a fixed address on that last new machine (same Ip, same subnet mask, same DNS, same gateway) same everything, just a fixed address.

At that point I can no longer access the samba shares from that PC (the ping works, everything works) even the username and password request mask comes out but it is impossible to use samba. Ping works fine, PCs can see each other but no samba share.

This only happens on this new PC, the others that have a fixed address work perfectly with each other.
If I put the PC network back on automatically receive IP (with dhcp) everything works correctly...

I'm going crazy!

Sounds like wrong subnet mask so that broadcasts messages are not going through.
