fedora 29 server, cannot see Samba host in Windows 7 workgroup
Hello, I have set up a Fedora 29 Server that I will be using as a file server in a Windows 7 workgroup. I can access the server if i manually connect, but the server does not appear in the network browser.
Here are some clips of my settings:
firewall-cmd --list-services
cockpit dhcpv6-client samba ssh
firewall-cmd --list-ports
137-138/udp
smb.conf [global] workgroup = AVB-NET netbios name = AVB-SRV-2 security = user name resolve order = bcast host browsable = yes wins support = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
[public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/avb browsable = yes public = yes writable = yes printable = yes write list = +staff
The network browser (i.e. file manager) has been unable to browse SMB shares for quite some time due to an open bug. See this similar post.
