Thanks Jerome. I'll take a look at EtherDFS..
Regarding Win 10 being snobbish. Smbv1 is now disabled by default in Win 10. You can enable it and you might need to change the local security policy in each win 10 client also to allow lanman auth.. not sure if you can do that in Win10 home Ed. At least I gathered this from my googling though I am yet to succeed in connecting from freedos to a share on Win10 using the NET USE command I think those steps are needed. And the username in freedos needs to also exist on the samba server it seems. Cheers, Sean On Tue 1 Mar 2022, 12:13 Jerome Shidel, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I’m no expert on Samba shares.
