Here's an update
I added the following three lines to smb.conf
client lanman auth = yes
client ntlmv2auth = no
client maxprotocol = LANMAN2
Now smbtree actually shows the shares (previously smbtree didn't show
anything)
The Windows PC and the three Linux NAS now show in "Network" and
"Windows Network"
The Windows PC asks for a password*, but the Linux boxes show "Cannor
retrieve share list from server". I am not too worried about the
Windows PC as it can access all the Linux devices, but why can I not
access Linux devices from a Linux PC?
*I have had this password issue in the past with the Windows PC
accessing the oldest of those Linux devices and it was fixed with
policy editor to stop ntlvm2auth
Very strange. The Windows PC can access everything. The Linux PC
cannot access anything.
