I have a workgroup (versus homegroup) network through a linksys router. There are two mobile wifi clients
Lapdog is an HP, Vista Home
Surface is a MS Surface, RT 8.1
Two desktops are connected via Ethernet
Office is Dell, Windows 8.1 and serves as a file server to the portables.
Server is an older HP with Linux/Zorin-os9 and is a backup to office and repository for media played on the attached LCD TV.
This was all working fine for about a year, but suddenly became disconnected. I updated Server from Zorin os8 to 9 and re-installed Samba.
The current state is that Surface can access the shares on Office, but Lapdog cannot; error message 0x80070005 Access is denied.
Server can sometimes access shares on Office and Lapdog (and incidentally Mac devises not part of this problem). Lapdog and Office can sometimes see Server icon, but not connect to shares. When the icon is visible, there are dialog boxes for username and password, but no combinations are acceptable to Windows Security. I am concentrating on getting the windows machines in sync.
In my attempts to solve this I have changed all usernames and passwords to be the same, purged all legacy usernames and passwords, reset permissions on shares and tried various settings and workarounds. I am thinking a windows update may have closed a vulnerability and because I do not have windows pro versions, I must not have ability to turn switches off. Could someone confirm that windows changed something or suggest a workaround that I have not already tried? Thanks
