Mount remote network drives

Hello,

Brand new to Zorin and Linux in general. I've been finding my way around but I'm stumped as to how to add shares from my two remote computers, I've googled and getting nowhere. I don't know if maybe something is wrong with the installation as I could see my windows networks before and now there is one icon that says windows network and when I click on it it goes nowhere. I did find a part that says connect to server but when I put in the ip address of the remote machine, the connect option is greyed out.

I can remote into these machines with remmina without issue.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

What version of Zorin and what version/s of Windows?

12.2 core 64 bit. Windows 10 is the operating system. I have two remote systems running windows 10. Yesterday it did show one of them and I mapped a share folder. Today it shows neither of the computers again in the network tab, but the share is still there that I set yesterday.

Hi, see if this article helps:

(replace hiroom2 in the example given with your user name.

This article is another good one:

To access Windows shares:

This covers it all I think:

I took a look at those articles, but they don't seem to apply in my case. In my case, it appears that Zorin is just not finding the Windows machines, it did one time and I mapped a share, but now it doesn't. it seems to be throwing off some errors too.

Do you have samba installed as well as cifs-utils?

Are the windows 10 machines running with the firewall enabled?

Take a look at your /etc/nsswitch.conf file, move the dns entry to before files

can you ping the windows 10 machines now?
