Samba won't show shares for anything

Software & Operating Systems

I cannot for the life of me figure out why none of my other computers or VMs can connect to the samba shares I have created.

I can connect to it from my laptop by using nautilus and typing smb:ipaddress and then being prompted for creds.

All firewalls have been checked. The access based share enum = yes option makes it so my laptop through the direct address connection no longer sees the music share.

I added the options “security”, changed the server string, and turned on the wins support. Other than that the Global configs are vanilla.

I have created users both with useradd and smbpasswd.

With the smb defined connection I can access files without issue

[global]
        server string = %h leon storage (Samba, Ubuntu)
        server role = standalone server
        security = USER
        map to guest = Bad User
        obey pam restrictions = Yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
        unix password sync = Yes
        syslog = 0
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 1000
        name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
        dns proxy = No
        wins support = Yes
        usershare allow guests = Yes
        panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
        idmap config * : backend = tdb


[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        create mask = 0700
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No


[print$]
        comment = Printer Drivers
        path = /var/lib/samba/printers


[video]
        path = /srv/video
        valid users = leon friend
        write list = root leon friend


[music]
        path = /srv/music
        valid users = leon friend
        write list = root friend leon
        guest ok = Yes
        access based share enum = Yes


[other]
        path = /srv/other
        valid users = leon friend
        write list = root leon friend

Someone help me please.

Can you connect and see files with the main user account?

Seems almost like a permission problem.

Yes, with the smb:// specified connection I can. Would it have something to do with my domain settings and the workgroup name?

Best I can figure it, I had my DHCP and DNS settings in a tizzy (IP settings on machines conflicting with DHCP and DNS not configured at all.) and once all the DNS resolution settings were complete it just started working on my windows clients. I still can’t connect with my desktop (off of windows) or laptop but I know for a fact I’m just missing the samba client at all on my desktop and the laptop is antergos so I don’t know what’s really on there.

Hope this helps someone else.
