Can't access SMB shares on windows 10 -invalid argument

  • Was able to configure them. And now they just stopped working.
    Have the shared folder in my netowrk location but it ain't accessible.

    Tried many methods suggested on the web (sharing with guest / anonymous logon user) registry keys. It just doesn't work

    I get "Invalid value" when I try to access the shared folder.

    Tried to access with IP. It resolves the share name correctly but can't add it because of the "invalid argument" things.

    LE 8.0.1 / Win 10

    Please advice

  • I reboot the my pi/My windows host. That's what have changed.

    Sometimes they work and some times they doesn't. Usually things change after I reboot either of PI/my desktop

    Edited once, last by tito1337 (May 10, 2017 at 5:31 PM).

  • The folder is accessible easily from my other desktop.
    I was also able to access the shared folder from LE. The things is that it is very unstable. after I reboot the folder isn't accessible anymore
