My laptop host is Windows 11 Home. The VirtualBox guest VM is Ubuntu 22.04.
- Ubuntu IP:
192.168.56.102 - Windows IP:
192.168.56.11
Both the host and guest are in the same WORKGROUP.
I can access the shares directly from the file managers from the host OS and guest OS:
- From Windows 11:
\\192.168.56.102\share - From Ubuntu:
smb://192.168.56.11/share
Everything appears to work as designed. Here is the burning question that has plagued Windows and Samba networking.
Why don't I see the COMPUTER names in the network folders of the file managers? Since SMB1 is deprecated, should I see them?
When I run smbclient I get the following.
Query the Ubuntu guest address:
# smbclient -L \\192.168.56.102 -U root
