Windows 11
Hi!

I have problem to connect from Windows 11 to my sambashares on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
but to my sambashare on Linux raspberrypi 6.1.21-v8+ the connection works.

When I tested with Windows 10 I was able to connect both Ubuntu's and RaspberryPi's samba shares without problems.
Raspberry Pi has Samba version 4.13.13-Debian installed and Ubuntu has Samba version 4.18.6 installed.

Can some help me with this issue?

I wish I had some good help for you and apparently no one has answered you... similar issue with me, I made a new post about win and samba. I know you can experiment with the Samba conf file, but very long process that may or may not work. You F-up and you lose your machine. So, best you look yourself and see if you might try that with Ubuntu samba edit conf file. I cannot find any GUI for Samba, it looks like only line editing. Have only been partially successful and put a zillion hours in. Good Luck.

If you need to use SMBv1, you will need to install it manually, from Programs and Features... Turn Windows features on or off.

if you are going to edit the config file in samba in Linux, then you might get more out of it, but it's digging pretty deep... I gave up after going through all that crap.. I just have to live with Share the IP method. They wrecked it and don't care at MS. Yes, enable the Windows Feature for Samba in Windows Features part as above.
