Samba Client and Windows 10 Home - "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE"/"Access denied"

I'm trying to access a file share from a Windows 10 Home using a Samba client. However the following errors happen...

1# - smbclient

    [root@eduardo-nb eduardo]# smbclient -L 192.168.0.5 -W WORKGROUP -U eduardo
    Enter WORKGROUP\eduardo's password: 
    session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

2# - Dolphin



----------------

NOTE: The only way to gain access to the share is by following the procedures described here ...


... which consist of allowing access to "Everyone" and "Turn off password protected sharing".

QUESTION: I would like to access this share with my existing Windows 10 Home user (has administrative prerogatives)... So what may be happening?

Thanks! =D

Add the Linux machine to the Windows 10 HOSTS file. Can access the Linux box from the Windows 10 PC?

Also, try moving the file share on the Windows 10 PC to the Public folder and change the sharing permissions to everyone.

I don't have access to a Linux box, but I was able to do this from macOS, which uses Samba. Here is how I was able to access it, its just a proof of concept.

Its likely something is not configured properly that might be preventing you from accessing the machine.

"Can access the Linux box from the Windows 10 PC?" -> Yes! Yes!

The problem occurs when I try to access shared files on Windows 10 Home from Linux.

Many thanks! =D

Which distribution of Linux are you using? Can you try installing the latest version SAMBA then try accessing the share again?

In this site there are several interventions made by me to try to solve the problem...

Samba Client and Windows 10 Home - “NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE”/“Access denied”

... and apparently Linux is configured as it should.

UPDATE: I tried to access sharing on Windows 10 Home using a Windows 7. Same problem... I begin to suspect that there is some kind of limitation in the Windows 10 Home and maybe it is not able to share folders... =|

I wish I had access to a Linux box I could test this, but I don't think Home is the reason why.
