samba - Aug 2020 - Recurring Error: The specified network name is no longer available

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

Try it like this:

[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

[sambashare]
 ??????? comment = Samba on Server
 ??????? path = /home/root/sambashare
 ??????? valid users = root
 ??????? read only = no
 ??????? # NOTE: do you really only want 'root' to connect ?

Read the note I added, does 'root' exist on the Windows machine ?

Fair enough, lets just get something straight, you are connecting from 
Win 10 to Samba, but what OS is Samba running on ?

Can you connect from explorer to the 'Anonymous' share ?

Have you created any Samba users on the Samba server ?

You shouldn't have to turn on SMBv1 on your Win 10 machine, but we will 
come to that once the basic connection is up and running ;-)

To answer you questions:
Win 10 to Samba, but what OS is Samba running on ?

Samba is running on a Centos 7 Server - UNIX

Can you connect from explorer to the 'Anonymous' share ?

I cannot connect. It gave me the error in the screenshot I sent you.


Have you created any Samba users on the Samba server ?

I have not created any user apart from 'root' of which I setup a
password for using the samba command.

Kind regards,
