I have OH2 installed on my RPi3. It recently crashed and I had to rebuild everything. I reflashed my SD card and went through the setup and have a fixed IP assigned. I can connect fine through Paper UI.
The Pi is connected via Ethernet cable directly to my Router.
My desktop machine (Windows 10) is also directly connected to the same Router and I can PuTTY into the RPi3 from my desktop. However, when I open File Explorer, it does not show up as a network drive.
I can, however, access my RPi3 from my laptop (also running Windows 10) which is wirelessly connected to the same Router to which my Pi and Desktop are connected. I don’t want to install SmartHome Designer on my laptop since I use my laptop mostly for work.
Any suggestions on why my desktop can’t see the Pi in File Explorer?
That is too bad but one of the most frequent causes now ruled out
Just tomake sure: the desktop, before you were rebuilding your OH, did that desktop see the samba shares correctly?
Did you recently do an update of your desktop machine? Windows10 recently employs a new Samba protocol that breaks Linux compatibility

Maybe caching problem… but you should be able to reach the RPI by typing the url manually in windows file explorer: \\openhabian\openhab2-conf\ or \\raspberry-ip\ and from this point, use the file browser…
I’m afraid not!
I’m running samba as a wins server, and sometimes I get windows network detection up and working when restarting samba, but this feature of windows never worked flawless to me, with or without the wins server.
I’m on Windows 10 v.1803 (for now).
I couldn’t see the \openhabianpi on network, but could connect via IP: \192.168.1.3.
But even when trying to access any shared folder, none of credentials worked. Changing passwords, using openhabian-config… nothing…
But finally found the method:
Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add in [global] section
