Dear Fedora Users, I’m encountering an issue where I cannot access a Samba shared folder from a Windows 10 guest running on a host configured with virt-manager + QEMU/KVM. Here are the details of the situation: --> Host Configuration and Status The Samba shared folder is accessible from the host itself: $ smbclient //192.168.122.1/intercambio -U x Password for [SAMBA\x]: Try "help" to get a list of possible commands. smb: \> ls . D 0 Mon May 31 22:30:19 2021 .. D 0 Mon May 31 22:30:19 2021 This confirms that Samba is running and the share is functional locally. SELinux is set to permissive mode using: sudo setenforce 0 However, the problem persists. The host firewall has the Samba service and port 445 explicitly allowed: sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=samba --permanent sudo firewall-cmd --reload --> Guest Configuration and Symptoms The guest Windows 10 machine can successfully ping the host: ping 192.168.122.1 However, attempts to connect to the shared folder fail. For example: Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 192.168.122.1 -Port 445 Output: WARNING: TCP connect to (192.168.122.1 : 445) failed ComputerName : 192.168.122.1 RemoteAddress : 192.168.122.1 RemotePort : 445 InterfaceAlias : Ethernet Instance 0 SourceAddress : 192.168.122.155 PingSucceeded : True PingReplyDetails (RTT) : 0 ms TcpTestSucceeded : False Disabling the Windows Firewall on the guest did not resolve the issue. --> What I've Tried So Far Verified Samba functionality locally on the host (smbclient works). Set SELinux to permissive mode (setenforce 0). Ensured the host’s firewall allows Samba traffic. Tested guest-host connectivity (successful ping but failed Test-NetConnection to port 445). --> Additional Information Host: Fedora Guest: Windows 10 Virtualization: virt-manager + QEMU/KVM Virtual network: NAT (default virbr0, host IP 192.168.122.1) --> Request for Assistance What could be causing the failure to access the Samba shared folder from the Windows guest? Are there specific configurations or troubleshooting steps I should try in this setup? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
