samba - Dec 2015 - ICMP 'Destination unreachable (Port unreachable)'

Hi

I am still having trouble getting Windows 10 and Windows 7 laptops to
communicate with a Samba server (4.1.17-Debian) running on Rasbian Jesse.

Running Wireshark on one of the laptops I notice these sequential packet
transfers:

Laptop –> Pi    BJNP    Scanner command: discover
Pi –> Laptop    ICMP    'Destination unreachable (Port unreachable)'

This happens even on a laptop that successfully communicates with the Samba
server.

Could this indicate a configuration problem? If so, how might I fix it?

Best regards

David

try turning off the windows firewall.

I don't know whether the problem still persists, but if you can't ping a
windows machine, and if this machine can't see other network objects, it 
is usually that file and printer sharing is disabled *on that machine*.
