Both laptops OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64 There is NO WINDOWS MACHINE involved.
I have Samba running on both smbd version 4.15.13-Ubuntu started.
I turned off all security on the network to allow all traffic (for testing)
No matter which machine I'm on, if I open "Files" and select "Other Locations" under Networks I see the Samba running locally AND the one on the other laptop. I can access the local one with no problem on either laptop. BUT....
When I try to connect to the other laptop I always get the same Message:
"Unable to access location" "Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out"
I've tried cold starts, changing the workgroup names, etc but nothing lets me connect remotely, only locally. Details below.
---- smb.conf ---------
[global]
server string = SYSTEM-1
workgroup = INVESTIGATIONS
security = user
map to guest = Bad User
