samba - Feb 2019 - Samba Samba and UFW

Louis,

Did not mean to confuse. Before I upgraded to Mint 19.1 I could go to 
the network, click on windows network, click on workgroup, then office 
and the windows pc (office) would mount. No problems. THe folders on the 
windows machine would be accessed. Now in Mint 19.1 I get the error 
"Unable to mount location....". We traced this behavior to the UFW 
firewall blocking the connection. Firewall enabled no connection. 
Firewall disabled connected. All I want is to get back to to the way the 
connection to office worked before upgrading the OS. Still believe that 
this an UFW issue.

Since I can now see the testingUFW share on the local (Linux PC) I tried 
connecting to it as anetwork location from the windows side. Still 
working on that. Perhaps that is a work around. Still the end game is to 
connect from the Mint 19.1 box to the Windows box.

Regards,

Marty

If it worked before you upgraded and didn't after, then you are asking
in the wrong place, you need to ask Linux Mint why it doesn't work any
more.

Ah.. and i was working the otherway..., ok. Let forget that. 

So, now it a complete different thing.

After you have read it all, then deside what you want todo. 
Im suspecting that the SMB connection from GUI in linux still uses SMB1. 


Few examples that might help wil testing on CLI.

mount -t cifs -o vers=2.0,username=WIN10Username,password=WIN10Password
//CLIENTIP/TESTSHARE MOUNTPOINT

smbclient -m SMB2 -U WIN10Username -L //Client/
