[Samba] Cannot connect to Samab

[John Serink]

Hi All:

My machine:
jserinki7 jserink # uname -a
Linux jserinki7 4.8.10-gentoo #64 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 4 02:01:32 SGT 2016
x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2720QM CPU @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

jserinki7 jserink # equery list samba
 * Searching for samba ...
[IP-] [  ] net-fs/samba-4.2.11:0


I run samba as an internal server to my machine to share my ext4 file
system to my windows7 guest I use in QEMU. Everything was working fine. I
had not used windows for about two weeks and fired up my VM to see that
windows could not connect to the samaba drives though samba was running.
jserinki7 jserink # /etc/init.d/samba status
 * status: started

I then tried from a bash prompt and get his:
jserinki7 jserink # smbclient -L 192.168.100.1 -U jserink -m SMB2
Enter jserink's password:
protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT


Googling suggesting putting the Netbios name in the /etc/hosts file, which
I did, no change.
Here is my /etc/hosts file:
jserinki7 jserink # cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts: Local Host Database
#
# This file describes a number of aliases-to-address mappings for the for
# local hosts that share this file.
#
# The format of lines in this file is:
#
# IP_ADDRESS canonical_hostname [aliases...]
#
#The fields can be separated by any number of spaces or tabs.
#
# In the presence of the domain name service or NIS, this file may not be
# consulted at all; see /etc/host.conf for the resolution order.
#

# IPv4 and IPv6 localhost aliases
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
192.168.100.1 MILK

and my smb.conf file:
jserinki7 jserink # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
#netbios name = MILK

Looking for some trouble shooting tips here.
