Rowland, I found the reason for the "wrong argument" error. The windows firewall was set to block remote connections. Fixed that now I'm able to connect to the network. Now I'm back to the original problem. That is I cannot connect to the windows network with ufw enabled. Error "Cannot mount location - file or directory does not exist". If I press ok the error

Rowland, The computer name 'martin-RB042AV-ABA-a1410y' was set by Linux Mint when it was installed. I'm not sure I can change it. I check it on the Mint forum. I'll turn off the smb... feature and see what happens. Yes the ports listed below are open and set to pass through the firewall. Should I unset the netbios name". Going to try the modification to the ufw rules file as

Reindl, I will check that. Not sure how fix it. Will look on internet. Would you give some more information on the subject.

Here is the ufw.log after enabling logging medium and trying to connect to the windows net. Unfortunately the web Microsoft page is in German. I think it says window uses smb1 syntax.

Rowland, Got more problems after I copied the requested files using gedit I can no longer connect to the Windows 8.1 PC. The error is "Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve list from service - Invalid argument. I have no idea where this one comes from. Have rebooted both machines - no change. Without being connected to the network I cannot list the current smb.conf file on the

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

Good Morning, Using Linux Mint 19.1 I have configured UFW to allow Samba. I see that ports 135 tcp, 137 udp, 138 udp , 139 tcp and 445 tcp are all set properly. The problem is that with UFW enabled I cannot connect to my Windows 8.1 PC. Error "Unable to mount location - failed to retrieve list from server, file or directory does not exist". With UFW disabled I can connect and browse

Louis, Last lines in /etc/default/ufw: IPT_MODULES="nf_conntrack_ftp nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_irc nf_conntrack_netbios_ns" Looks like nf_contrack_netbios_ns is already loaded. iptables -S requires more arguments. Suggestions? Marty

OK Guys this where we are now. The hostname on the Mint 19.1 PC was a combination of the user name and the PC model. I changed it to "radio". That plus the user name gives "martin at radio". That is twelve characters long. No change. Still not able to mount network. Removed netbios name from smb.conf. No change. Set Windows app to no smb/ctif sharing. Got nothing when trying

Just call me Marty. Ham13 is a login name on another system. OK. I'm posting the smb.conf and thee smbclient responses form both Linux PC's. One running Mint 19.1 and the other running Mint 18.3. The 18.3 machine does connect to the network. All I want to do use the file manager to connect to and open directories and to move files between the three PC's. Regards, Marty smb.conf from

Rowland, OK. Should I delete these lines? diff yours mine 63d62 yours# -A ufw-after-logging-output -m limit --limit 3/min --limit-burst 10 -j LOG --log-prefix "[UFW ALLOW] " 85,87d83 yours# -A ufw-before-logging-forward -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -m limit --limit 3/min --limit-burst 10 -j LOG --log-prefix "[UFW AUDIT] " yours# -A ufw-before-logging-input -m conntrack

Louis, Followed your instructions so far. Take a look at the output of the various steps. I'm down to removing items form /etc/ufw. I'm not sure what I should delete. I know some of the files are backups generated after some rules were deleted. Please tell me what is safe to delete before I procede further. martin at radio:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge ufw gufw Reading package

Louis, Added the share "testing UFW" . Can see it on the Linux side nothing in Windows IE. Tried adding ports 80 and 443 both tcp and udp. No change. When I go to the network I see two folders OFFICE (the windows PC) and Windows network. The Windows network will not mount but If I click on office I see print$ and testingUFW. I can open testingUFW on the local machine but not

Rowland, Did some editing in smb.conf that I had to reverse. Now I'm back to being able to connect with the firewall disabled. When I enable the firewall I get as far as windows network -> workgroup but no connection. I have only the rules you recommended in your last email. Louis, The information you requested is below: martin at radio:~$ dpkg -l|egrep "iptables|ufw" ii 

Louis, Tried the rules you suggested: These work. I think that rules out any Windows problems. ufw insert 1 allow in on enp2s5 from 192.168.254.15 to 192.168.254.39 ufw insert 2 allow in on enp2s5 from 192.168.254.39 to 192.168.254.15 These do not work. ufw insert 1 allow in on enp2s5 proto tcp from 192.168.254.0/24 to 192.168.254.39 port 139,445 ufw insert 2 allow in on enp2s5 proto udp from

Ok Martin, I think i found you problem. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1778322 So i think you have to wait until the fix enters mint. Greetz, Louis

Louis, Made the changes. Still unable to mount office. Firewall also blocks Thunderbird mail and maybe internet. Will check that more fully later.Any thoughts ob Tony's response?
