[Samba] Recurring Error: The specified network name is no longer available

[Gerard Owusu]

 Hello again,
So I made an overall change to the config and removed the sambashare entirely.
I just want to have a basic connection before any further modification.
Below is the config setup:
[global]        log file = %S.log        log level = 3        workgroup = WORKGROUP        security = user        printing = cups        printcap name = cups        cups options = raw        ntlm auth = yes        map to guest = bad user
[Anonymous]        comment = anonymous file share        path = /samba/anonymous_shared_directory        guest ok = yes        guest only = yes        read only = no
[homes]        comment = Home Directories        valid users = %S, %D%w%S        browseable = No        read only = No        inherit acls = Yes
[printers]        comment = All Printers        path = /var/tmp        printable = Yes        create mask = 0600        browseable = No
[print$]        comment = Printer Drivers        path = /var/lib/samba/drivers        write list = @printadmin root        force group = @printadmin        create mask = 0664        directory mask = 0775
Yet I still got this error:



The issue might be something else.
I have already turned on the smb client as shown below:



What you do think?
Kind regards,
Gerard

Try it like this:

[global]
         log file = %S.log
         log level = 3
         workgroup = WORKGROUP
         security = user
         printing = cups
         printcap name = cups
         cups options = raw
         ntlm auth = yes
         map to guest = bad user

[Anonymous]
         comment = anonymous file share
         path = /samba/anonymous_shared_directory
         guest ok = yes
         guest only = yes
         read only = no

[homes]
         comment = Home Directories
         valid users = %S, %D%w%S
         browseable = No
         read only = No
         inherit acls = Yes

[printers]
         comment = All Printers
         path = /var/tmp
         printable = Yes
         create mask = 0600
         browseable = No

[print$]
         comment = Printer Drivers
         path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
         write list = @printadmin root
         force group = @printadmin
         create mask = 0664
         directory mask = 0775

[sambashare]
         comment = Samba on Server
         path = /home/root/sambashare
         valid users = root
         read only = no
         # NOTE: do you really only want 'root' to connect ?

Read the note I added, does 'root' exist on the Windows machine ?
