Hello,
I have 2 Raspberry Pis that have an ethernet connection to my router that I connect to with a Samba share from my windows 11 computer. After I changed routers and static IPs due to changing ISPs, One of my raspi's connects to the computer with not problem. The other Raspi which used to work with the old router, no longer works. When I try to connect it gives a "the username or password is incorrect". I am using the exact credentials that I used to use with the old router, so it's not an issue of the username or password.
The Raspberry PI that works is a Raspberry pi 2B that I use as a file server. It is running Samba version 4.9.5-Debian.
here is the contents of the smb.conf file.
The raspberry pi that I cannot connect to is a Rasberry pi 5 that I use as a Minecraft server. As a server is works just fine. It is running Samba version 4.17.12-Debian
here is the contents of the smb.conf file.
I have tried adding the below but it didn't work.Please help me figure out what is wrong that I can't connect to samba share.
