Before upgrading my main server to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS I decided to test the installation first on a spare laptop. All went well until I wanted to browse for files in Windows Explorer via Samba.
My Windows 10 machine can browse files (via Samba) on my main Ubuntu server (version Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS running Samba version 4.3.11-Ubuntu). However it cannot browse files on the Ubuntu 18.04 server running Samba version 4.7.6-Ubuntu. The Windows 10 machine can see the Ubuntu 18.04 server in windows explorer but every time I click to access the 'shared' folders and files I get a message saying windows cannot access the server.
I have googled for hours and tried various possible solutions proposed by others but can't get anything to work. I can access the shared areas on either Ubuntu machine from the other machine using smbclient. I take this to mean my smb.conf file is largely correct.
Can anyone please shed some light onto this problem and what the solution might be. Thanks.
To simplify matters I currently have the smb.conf files the same on both Ubuntu servers. As explained above Windows 10 can access the files on one server but not on the other.

I have made some progress this morning and now have a big clue as to the problem. I mapped the a network drive on Windows 10 to the share (\192.168.x.yfolder_name) and selected "use different network credentials" - this enabled me to access the Ubuntu 18.04 server. I have used all the same user names and credentials as the 16.04 server but something is different when accessing the 18.04 server.

I have the same issue accessing a Samba 4.7.6 share on Ubuntu 18.04 from a VMware on that computer running Windows 10.
I didn't find a solution, but I found a workaround. I actually can connect to the share if I enter the IP address manually, while going via the Windows explorer computer name doesn't work. It doesn't even show the option to connect with a different user.

I have the same issue accessing a Samba 4.7.6 share on Ubuntu 18.04 from a VMware on that computer running Windows 10.
I didn't find a solution, but I found a workaround. I actually can connect to the share if I enter the IP address manually, while going via the Windows explorer computer name doesn't work. It doesn't even show the option to connect with a different user.
