Re: Home Network.
That would be logical, but apparently it has been upgraded to win10. I checked and I am sure of that.
Yeah, I have 3 network passwords over the years and I know which one is the most recent. None of them work.mikeflan Same here, wants password, none I have work
I am in pretty good shape as it stands right now, so I'm not too terribly worried about it. It's amazing that the decades keep rolling by and they STILL don't have network setup all lined out.
Re: Home Network.
I don't know why I do this since you really shouldn't be getting Windows advice on a Linux forum but one again I will demonstrate what I did to create a new shared folder on Windows 10 and How I access it.
I created a new folder at C:\Shared2.
Then I created the share by Right Click Shared2 in explorer > Give Access To > Specific People > smbuser > Add > Permissions Level set to Read / Write.
I can check to see if what I thought I did was in fact what I really did by invoking Power Shell > Run as Administrator:
Windows PowerShell
And here I connect to that share using smbuser's Windows username and password from Mint20 Cinnamon:Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6
Here I check to see if the share permissions and user accessibility are set correctly:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> net share Shared2
Share name Shared2
Path C:\Shared2
Remark
Maximum users No limit
Users smbuser
Caching Manual caching of documents
Permission BUILTIN\Administrators, FULL
Everyone, FULL
The command completed successfully.
Here I check to see if the folder permissions allow the user smbuser write access - and they do:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> icacls Shared2
Shared2: The system cannot find the file specified.
Successfully processed 0 files; Failed processing 1 files
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> icacls c:\Shared2
c:\Shared2 VWIN1064\altair:(OI)(CI)(F)
VWIN1064\smbuser:(OI)(CI)(F)
BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)

Re: Home Network.
Thank you. It will be a while until I try this again. My wife just got home and I don't mess with her computer too much when she is here.
Re: Home Network.
This thread is a bit messy.
You all have a thread in here about setting up a Samba network..
Thread: Samba and Mint20
viewtopic.php?f=42&t=322404
and then you have the thread: Problem after samba update
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=371366
and one thread about setting up Samba network drive in Fstab: [Solved] Setting up a SAMBA share in /etc/fstab to auto mount automatically
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=375505
But it seems as there isn't a step by step guide to set up a Linux-Windows network on this forum.
Perhaps you should make one.

Nothing is impossible, the impossible just takes a little longer to solve..
It is like it is.. because you do as you do.. if you hadn't done it as you did.. it wouldn't have become as it is. ;)
