SUSE access to Server (NAS)

following setup:
3 computer with SUSE SLED 15.2
2 Laptop with Windows 10
NAS Sever Sznology with DSM. DSM is Linux, but an special and in fact very comfortable version of Linux
The server runs NFS, but not NIS. We use AD network that is supported by Windows and Linux as well.
DHCP server comes from a Cisco Firewall
Problem:
Windows can see the see the server.
Linux, wen you klick on windows network - Unable to access location, Failed to retrieve share listr from Server: No such file or directory.
SAMBA has been setup
UserLogon setup
But Computer name is not resolvable.
I can add network drives - but only via IP adress (same for printer), but both via SMB or NFS.

SUSE Service had checked it, tried a lot, we made a complete fresh and virgin installation - couldn’t find a solution. It has been reported as bug - but SUSE can’t find a bug, closed the case

Question: What goes wrong here.

@HANS-CHRISTOPH Hi, likely the SMB version on the NAS, which is?
If you try logging in from the command line on the linux guest and run smbclient -d 3 -L //<host_ip>/ does it show errors?

Hi Malcom,
sorry for late reply - was somehow busy. You are really good - always answering. However, i talked with SUSE developer - are German as well :slight_smile: - and told them only those responses for failure make the system better. Microsoft do that by pulling Metadata - we need to do in different ways. But, SUSE got better - much better - compared to version 11.

The NAS runs both SMB 2 and 3 and large MTU. The detailed version I couldn’t find.

We do not use SMB1 since 2 and 3 are more safe.

@HANS-CHRISTOPH Hi, so looks like just a netbios naming issue, I’m not a samba user, just use sftp/scp etc :wink:
Have a read here: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP2/html/SLES-all/cha-samba.html and suggest a google of samba+Troubleshooting NetBIOS names

ok, thanks. I’ll check up. But is netbios not an very old protocol?

I get this result:
SLED15Desktop:/etc/samba # net ads join -U Administrator -S HCPIN
Enter Administrator’s password:
Failed to join domain: failed to lookup DC info for domain ‘HCPI.HQ’ over rpc: {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful.

I placed many screenshots here - not sure they are visible?

@HANS-CHRISTOPH Hi is the firewall running, if so stop temporarily and test.

The PC I tested is in internal zone. All ports should be open?
