so far i have a file share set up and ive gotten to the point where it is now discoverable on my windows 10 pc by adding a wsdd service (i think thats what i did anyway. mostly just following tutorials online cause i dont understand very much yet. im getting there tho.)
so at this point i can now see and open the network location and am able to see the shared folders inside the network folder. when i click on the shared folders i windows yells at me and says: windows cannot access: you do not have permission to access this drive.
on the share i have guest access enabled and allow others to create and delete also enabled. at this point it should just work right? but its not. how do i fix this? ive had shares set up on other versions before accessed by the same pc which has not changed but they all broke with the update so i completely reformatted and reinstalled a fresh version of ubuntu. i have done nothing except for this and web browsing since the reinstall
