Cannot access SMB/Windows shares

I had a Wifi card go out on a Windows 11 pc. Right when it did, I had to plug in an ethernet cable to get internet connection back and I got a replacement Wifi card. BUT when this happened, I lost access to networking ONLY trying to get out to the network shares. Other PCs can still get to the shares on the issue PC. I just cannot get to the shares from the issue PC.

I have tried all of the guides about:
-Reset the Network Stack
-Repair WMI and Corrupted System Files
-Re-register WMI Components

None of that has helped. Has anyone else ran into this issue yet?

You write as though SMB & Windows shares are the same thing. They are not.

I suggest you work through checking all your network settings on every network computer:-

If you use a third-party security application then I'd also suggest removing it until your network problems are resolved.
[I once had Bitdefender refuse to allow a replacement WiFi card to work without bothering to tell me.]

Best of luck,

Every other computer is fine. I know SMB and Windows Shares are not the same. I have both on the network and like I said, the computer that lost the network card, is the ONLY one that cannot access shares but its shares can be accessed. NO other PC is facing this issue. And it did not come up until the Wifi card died. This network has been setup for 10 years with no issues. Every version of Windows has been on it. The main file share is on an Ubuntu machine. The PC is the only one with the brand new issue.
