Hello,

I'm finally upgrading from Windows7 (I know) and notice that my new 
computer running Windows10 can't see a Samba 4.5.16 share running on 
Debian. It's fine when working from the Windows7 host.

I tried the following tips, but the Samba share still doesn't show up in 
Windows10's Network*:
https://serverfault.com/questions/720332/cannot-connect-to-linux-samba-share-from-windows-10
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2148301-samba-4-and-windows-10-file-sharing

Here's my smb.conf:
======= START
[global]
;MADE NO DIFFERENCE, SO COMMENTED OUT
;so Win10 sees Samba shares
;client min protocol = SMB2
;client max protocol = SMB3
;MADE NO DIFFERENCE, SO COMMENTED OUT
;smb ports = 139
;LAST TRY BUT STILL NO CIGAR
ntlm auth = yes

;BELOW IS THE STUFF THAT WORKS FINE WITH WINDOWS7
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = DEBIAN
security = user
map to guest = Bad User
;map to guest = Bad Password

;www-data used by Nginx
guest account = www-data

hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

;to solve the "WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out registering IP" message
bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = 192.168.0.15/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
;BAD? interfaces = lo eth0

log level = 2

wins support = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 255

;this avoids needless errors in the logs if you have no printer
printcap name = /dev/null
load printers = no
printing = bsd

[nginx]
path = /usr/share/nginx
;comment = No need for Unix/Samba passwords
guest ok = yes
writeable=yes
;valid users=www-data

browseable=yes

force create mode = 0644
create mask = 0664
security mask = 0664
force security mode = 0664
========== END

Does someone have a working smb.conf I could use?

Thank you.

* and "net view" fails with error 1231, but it's apparently expected 
since it was based on SMB1, which Microsoft has disabled for security reason
