I wish to connect a Mac (Big Sur) to a Samba server running on a Raspberry Pi (Bullseye).
The Samba server works on the Pi, but when I try to connect the Mac to the server smb://192.168.0.237/share it times out and I get this error:
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection and then try again.
Here are the Samba settings on the Pi:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tail /etc/samba/smb.conf
[share]
Comment = Pi shared folder
Path = /home/pi/shared
Browseable = yes
Writeable = Yes
only guest = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
Public = yes
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tail /var/log/samba/log.smbd
daemon_ready: daemon 'smbd' finished starting up and ready to serve connections
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ smbclient //192.168.0.237/share
Enter WORKGROUP\pi's password:
Anonymous login successful
I can ping the Pi from my Mac and vice versa, and my Mac can talk to the Pi via VNC and Plex... But the Mac just does not seem to see the Samba server on the Pi.
Does anyone have any ideas what I might be missing?
Thanks
