Samba share to HA

I cannot connect from my win11 pc to home assistant via samba share…

In config of samba i wrote the IP of my PC und then i go to win explorer und type //192.168
But there is allways the same issue report:
Cannot connect to server

Can anybody help?

Share your actual addon config. Local addresses are not routable on the internet so there is no need to obscure them. You can obscure the password and username.

Also you seem to be under the impression that this addon will share data from your PC to Home Assistant. It will not. It will only share from Home Assistant to your PC. Or maybe it is a language thing.

Yes i only want the connection from HA → PC

You have some redundant hosts information there, 192.168.178.60/24 includes all the 192.168.178.x addresses.

In windows what happens when you type \\<your_home_assistant_ip_address> in the file explorer address bar?

Does it ask you for credentials.

What ip addresses are your PC and Home Assistant on?

Are they in the same subnet?


RaspPi an PC IP adress


Adress with :8123


Adress without :8123

…always the same → network issue, cannot connect to this host

You’re going to have to translate those messages. Are you connecting with the credentials you have listed?

Also, I believe you need to have network discovery enabled in Windows if I recall correctly.

I don’t think this is going to work. I believe this add-on only gives access TO Home Assistant folders FROM a PC.

Home Assistant can NOT see PC shares using this add-on.

Yes i only want to see a few HA folders on my PC!

…sorry for my english…

But whats going wrong? There are many youtube tutorials. It works great but not in my case

Did you read my posts?

Yes i am connected to the credentials i have listed and i have also enabled the privat network discovery

Ok, so can you translate those errors then please?

Ok, ill go to work now and later about 10 hours ill post…

Thx

In my case, I had to activate compatibility mode.

compatibility_mode: true


I set the compatibility mode to true but dont work


My IP… (the rasPI IP i have already showed in pics before)


…and the issue report only says that this issue cannot be identified

:confused:

You most definitely should not be attempting to use SAMBA over the internet.

Yes only on privat network but dont works…

What should i type into samba config to get it work?

Why do you have your public ip address in the allowed hosts then?

Remove it.

Because i am a dude and try everything to get run this samba

But ok i remove it

You’re going to actually have to translate that error. That error code is generic and does not correlate with the text.
