I'm trying to access a file share from a Windows 10 Home using a Samba client. However the following errors happen ...

1# - smbclient

[root@eduardo-nb eduardo]# smbclient -L 192.168.0.5 -W WORKGROUP -U eduardo
Enter WORKGROUPeduardo's password: 
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

2# - Dolphin

NOTE: The only way to gain access to the share is by following the procedures described here ...

File Sharing not working

... which consist of allowing access to "Everyone" and "Turn off password protected sharing".

QUESTION: I would like to access this share with my existing Windows 10 Home user (has administrative prerogatives)... So what may be happening?

Thanks! =D

UPDATE: My /etc/samba/smb.conf ...

[global]
 workgroup = WORKGROUP
 server string = Samba Server
 allow insecure wide links = yes
 printcap name = /etc/printcap

[printers]

[eduardo]
 follow symlinks = yes

You will get that error running smbclient when you pass the wrong password.

So the question is is this a simple username and password in WIn10 or is it a Microsoft Account username and password as in eduardo@soemthing.com.

If you are using a Microsoft Account name then the smbclient command becomes:

smbclient -L 192.168.0.5 -W something.com -U eduardo

THE REAL PROBLEM:

As you can see in this image...

...my user "eduardo" is actually "alldocube"... As seen in the print above the way the user "eduardo" ("alldocube") is in the system caused a huge confusion! Actually I couldn't understand how it happened...

SOLUTION:

So the only thing that needs to be done is to share (Properties > Sharing) drive "D" for the user "alldocube" (in my case) and give permissions (Properties > Security) on drive "D" for the user "alldocube".

To access the sharing using Linux open the file browser (Dolphin in my case) and in the path field enter smb://WORKGROUP<YOUR_USER>@<SERVER_IP>/<SHARE_NAME> (smb://WORKGROUPalldocube@192.168.0.5/D in my case).
