Hi everyone, I am having weird network issues that I cannot figure out. I have a Windows 11 machine that is hosting a shared folder, and requires username/password to access. From Windows 10 machines, I can access it. From a Windows 7 machine, I used to be able to access it fine, but I believe, though cannot confirm, after a router reboot, I have issues accessing it. There was one time I was able to access it only if IPv6 was enabled (and only via WIN11-NUC and not IP address), but since I disabled it on the router, it stopped working. I ran `net stop workstation` on both machines with no resolution (found the idea here: Mapping network drive System error 64). Also, from the Windows 11 machine, I can access the Windows 7 share.
I also had issues from a Linux machine. I can ping it (Windows 11 machine) fine. I used to be able to mount it just fine, but now it returns an error. I am able to mount a shared folder from another Windows machine.
I eventually ran `Network reset` from the Control Panel of Windows 11, in addition to re-enabling IPv6 in the router, and it seems to work again (able to access the share from Windows 7 machine). But I still have issues with the Linux machine.
In fstab, I have
. This used to mount fine, but nowadays it does not mount properly on boot. I have to SSH in and run a mount command again,
. But, it seems the share stops working at some point, and if I try to `ls` into the share directory in `mnt`, it says, `
ls: cannot access 'share-nfs': Host is down`. I can't seem to unmount it, so have to restart the machine.
Do you have any thoughts what is happening? Thanks.
