Now that is interesting, you have a share that you obviously want to be
a 'guest' share, but you haven't set 'map to guest = bad
user' in
[global], so it will never be used. You also do not need the 'force
user' line in the share, the 'guest only' line does the same thing.

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
