Just making a start on today’s attempts to connect …
The short answer: yes, still seeing the password error.
The more long-winded answer (in case there’s any clues in the steps I’m taking):
If I delete the IPC$ hidden entry net view does not work …
C:\Windows\System32>net view \\192.168.2.123
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
So, I visit the Vero’s IP address in Windows Explorer, and the first prompt asks for my network credentials. I then type in my PC Username and Password, and I see the 2 shares (osmc and connected USB stick) in the Explorer Window.
Running net view now is successful
C:\Windows\System32>net view \\192.168.2.123
Shared resources at \\192.168.2.123
Samba 4.5.12-Debian
Share name Type Used as Comment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLETCH-32GB Disk Auto-mount Volume
osmc Disk OSMC Home Directory
The command completed successfully.
But trying to map the drive via net use returns the following error.
C:\Windows\System32>net use p: \\192.168.2.123\osmc /user:osmc
System error 1219 has occurred.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.
So, I delete IPC$ again, and try to map the drive again, but the password is rejected:
C:\Windows\System32>net use p: \\192.168.2.123\osmc /user:osmc
Enter the password for 'osmc' to connect to '192.168.2.123':
System error 86 has occurred.
The specified network password is not correct.
And also check any connections to osmc already with net use
The only way how I can create your error is if I type wrong password on purpose.
C:\Windows\system32>net use p: \\192.168.253.24\osmc /user:osmc
Enter the password for 'osmc' to connect to '192.168.253.24':
System error 86 has occurred.
The specified network password is not correct.
C:\Windows\system32>net use p: \\192.168.253.24\osmc /user:osmc
Enter the password for 'osmc' to connect to '192.168.253.24':
The command completed successfully.
I think we’re all in agreement that the issue lies with my Win10 machine, but I’m at a loss as to what to try next, particularly since the same machine is connecting successfully to other network shares.
I’ve also been able to connect to the osmc shared folder from my wife’s laptop (also running Win10).
I did have Defender on, but have also now tested with it off, and it makes no difference.
Do you know where I’d find the specific rules? I’ve allowed File and Printer Sharing in the Defender settings, but I guess that won’t make a difference when I’m unable to connect while Defender is off, anyway.
C:\Windows\System32>net stop workstation /y
You have these remote connections:
W: \\192.168.2.95\Mediavault
X: \\192.168.2.95\omv-emby
Y: \\RASP2OPENELEC\Userdata
Continuing will cancel the connections.
The following services are dependent on the Workstation service.
Stopping the Workstation service will also stop these services.
Computer Browser
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
C:\Windows\System32>net start workstation
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
net use is currently showing no connections, but running delete suggests that ‘something’ is connected?
C:\Windows\System32>net use \\192.168.2.123\IPC$ /delete
The device is being accessed by an active process.
Sorry, I missed this earlier. I’ve now tried on v1 and v2 and still no joy.
It would have really helped to have known about this! So now we can rule out the Vero 4K as the problem, and zoom in on the Win10 system. You will need to do a ‘Stare and Compare’ of your Win10 systems to see what the difference is.
Nope. Mine was an ‘upgrade’ installation’ whereas my wife’s was pre-installed with the laptop. I’ll check the version numbers tonight, but I know mine is now on the most recent update and my wife’s isn’t.
I thought we’d already ruled out the Vero 4K as the problem when I was able to connect to it from the Openelec box, earlier? I only thought to try with my wife’s laptop yesterday, and updated this thread as soon as I’d confirmed it.
The fact remains though that it’s only the Vero 4K that my Win10 PC is having problems connecting to. It connects to shares on 2 Openelec boxes, and the shares on my NAS without issue.
I’m travelling with work this week, so I probably won’t get much chance to do so. Would you suggest that there’s anything in particular I should be looking at, or a good place to start with this?
Well I guess quite a few options possible to impact this. I would start checking the SMB protocol versions. Open a powershell (with run as administrator) and run this commands.
When you have time check out your Windows machine to compare the settings as suggested. If that doesn’t reveal anything than you can increase the debug level on the Vero for checking the logs as this helped today another guy to fix his issue. See here
This was incredibly helpful as I could not connect from Windows 10 without setting these parameters. I could see my Vero samba shares, but windows 10 rejected the password login attempts no matter what I tried. I knew it was something weird because I could connect from my Macbook Pro, but not my Win10 machine.
I can’t seem to see a Samba wiki article anywhere, but it seems like this solution really should be pinned/added to a wiki. Thanks for the solution!
