samba ip6 and windows 10 issues
by timsoft from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55VB6)
my situation is as follows.
I have a samba server running 14.2 fully patched which works fine for ip4 networking. in fact my isp only offers ip4 connections so any ip6 traffic is local. the server has a fixed ip4 address.
if i disable ip6 on a win10 pc (v2004) then I can browse the local lan, and the shares on any particular machine.
by default win10 ships/installs with both ip4 and ip6, but always uses ip6 by preference. eg if i ping my server name (it also provides dhcp via dnsmasq) it will respond using ip6 addresses unless i disable ip6 on the win10 pc.
unfortunately, with ip6 enabled, the win10 pc will show the other samba servers on the network, but will error out when being told to show the shares on a machine.
I do have guest shares on the samba server, and windows 10 network config allows network discovery and file and printer sharing.
i can access the shares via ip4 address with ip6 enabled on the win10 pc.
has anyone had success with current windows10 ip6 enabled and browsing/accessing samba shares by name who could share tips?
