SAMBA Share (2.0) not working with HASSIO 0.49.1 NUC eth0

Hi, I am using intel NUC with wired connection. web interface and SSH working but I can’t make SAMBA work. It says that interface eth0 was not found. Below is the log

Ok I solved the problem. Firstly I left the interface blank by setting interface="" and refresh the LOG. I then found out that the interface name for my ethernet in NUC is: “enp3s0”. So I set interface=“enp3s0”, filled username and password and SAMBA is working fine now. I can browse it from my PC. I hope this help those who have similar issue.

Thank you for your troubles as it lead to a solution that I was seeking for hours. Namely the nuc nic’s name.

Samba is now working, so much easier than using Winscp!

Hi, wanted to make a similar setup. How did you do your installation (newb here), downloading the HASSIo NUC image … and then?

xbmcnut · February 19, 2018, 11:30am

Thanks, just what I needed!

VivianC · December 9, 2018, 6:17am

Thank you! Just installed my Hass.io instance on virtual box and this has been driving me crazy for hours.

More people may be looking for this since Dr. Zzzz just did a video on it.

roybosch · March 8, 2019, 3:37pm

So, how did you find the ethernet interface name on your NUC? I’m also having a NUC and I encounter the same problem. My interface name is different from “enp3s0” it seems.

Asterix · March 31, 2019, 7:13pm

Cheers! Saved me a lot of troubles
Samba is working now!

I just wasted an hour and half on this one two

The answer is to simply delete eth0 and just leave the “” then restart samba.

Here is where I found the answer https://community.home-assistant.io/t/hassio-virtualbox-samba-interface-name/107735/2?u=three

For any windows users.
eth0 is a linux term for the first physical ethernet port coding wise it makes sense. Windows uses Ethernet, Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2 not sure why the put a space in the name, then again microsoft is driven by corporate thinking not logic so why would it follow logically convention like linux.

Virtual cards don’t follow eth0 or Ethernet 1 etc protocol and generate their own name. I am using Virtualbox as VM.

I am guessing the NUC users above their NUC created an adapter the in the list in the pic which simply had the title “enp3s0” whereas virtual box created “VirtualBox Host-Only Network” and I would imagine as you add more virtual LAN ports in VB it just adds a number to the end like VMware did (also as seen in pic below).

I know this is old but this solved my problem with finding out what the name was for my VirtualBox based hassio network setup. Ingenious way to figure out what the interface name is called since ifconfig does not work.

This is the best answer, thank you
