Re: No Network connection after login failure

I prefer not to use wifi as I have computers in different rooms and don't always get a good signal.

But, when I do try to connect from a remote laptop the error message:

Failed to open "/ on".

is given.

Re: No Network connection after login failure

I connect using the file manager - thunar - network.
In the past, this would display the hostname of the server.

Re: No Network connection after login failure

Still having no success connecting via the hostname so I decided to do a fresh re-install.

During the installation I set the hostname as Dell-pc and left the domain name option empty.

After installation was complete I installed samba, smbclient and cifs-utils.
I then added myself as a user:

sudo gpasswd -a kino sambashare
sudo smbpasswd -a kino

and re-booted.
Previously, I now would have had remote access to the network but instead:

:~$ smbstatus

Samba version 4.2.14-Debian
PID     Username      Group         Machine            Protocol Version       
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed to initialize session_global: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Service      pid     machine       Connected at

Failed to initialize session_global: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

No locked files

There is something broken somewhere but I don't know what it is.
