Need help with Networking Linux Lite & Windows 10

[kefir81]

Hello trinidad.


It's been a few years and I hope you're still around.  I never resolved the issue so I'm now even more rusty on my level of experience with Linux and integrating it for home networking. So, hope you can help as I've been missing in action.


Here's some information about both systems:


Windows 10:
Windows 10 Pro
Version 2004
OS build 19041.572
Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0
User Kefir Israel


Computer Name is Desktop -  1SS
Workgroup is WORKGROUP

Linux:

I know how to add additional user names to both systems if needed.

I'm not sure of your level of experience, but guessing from your post you seem a little lost. I can walk you through most anything having to do with Linux to Windows 10 power networking but you will have to be more specific about several things. I suspect Windows 10 is not properly setup for your share specifics. I may need Windows 10 version, build numbers if you know how to find them, and several other specifics, users, etc. and the purpose for your sharing, specifically group or full file administrative privileges, or other intermediary server IPs. Also note that Windows 10 Home Edition is not particularly intuitive about setting up file sharing to Linux, and several specifics can be glitchy. Read through my tutorials on Windows 10 networking on this forum for help. You may message me privately if you wish, but please be specific about your networking needs and the systems involved. Linux Lite networks very powerfully with Windows 10 and can do most anything you can imagine.
