Sorry, wrong again. 😁

Here's what I did:

1. Install WfW (network card is autodetected)
2. Install TCP32
3. Remove all protocols except TCP/IP
4. Setup TCP/IP, select DHCP
5. Enter net usershare [...] in Linux shell
6. Open Windows File Manager, map network drive, select share on my Linux PC
7. Done-ski

Then you are fortunate enough to have a Linux configuration in which NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled by default. 😒

(Of course there would be no setting in Windows 3.x to enable or disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, because it is impossible for Windows 3.x to use anything else.)

It's just the default Debian install. Just for shits and giggles, I added disable netbios = yes to smb.conf, made no difference, WfW can still access everything just fine. Anything else? 😁

BTW, disable netbios = yes doesn't change any of the ports.

Well, if it's listening on ports 137-139, that would seem to indicate NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. I can't imagine why it would be listening on those ports otherwise. As to why editing smb.conf has no effect, I would not know. (I assume you're restarting smbd after editing.)

ETA: A little more Googling suggests that nmbd (which is part of Samba) might also have to be stopped/configured.

It is strange that, considering Linux seems to emphasize security, this legacy protocol is apparently enabled by default even when it has no use with modern versions of Windows.

Oh ok, I only issued "service smbd restart", that would explain why it still worked. Yes, it seems NetBIOS is enabled by default in Samba, you have to explicitly add the "disable netbios = yes" line to disable it. Maybe some distros do it? I just checked the distros currently installed on my HDD and neither Debian, Ubuntu nor CentOS disable NetBIOS in their default smb.conf. In any case, I don't see how it's more of a security risk than the rest of SMB, and of course it makes things easy for us retro users. 😁

MS Tech support should be able to provide you with full help and support.

Come on, seriously? Windows 3.x is not sold by Microsoft anymore and they couldn't care less if you're trying to connect a Windows 3.x computer to a Windows 10 computer.

++ on using an FTP server to move files around. IIRC, the TCP/IP package for Windows 3 includes a FTP client.

This is similar to my experience. I had no problem reaching to a shared folder in a Windows 3.11 or Windows 9x shared folder but not otherwise. But I also am quite sure that not only first two octecs, but first three should be same according to my experience : like 192.168.1. 10 and 192.168.1.15. Being in the same "workgroup" might also help (mine are in the same workgroup but I'm not sure what happens if they were not).

You are correct. Not sure what I was thinking, but yes the first three octets must be in the same.

Hi,
@dosgamer

I've seen you mentioned your samba server works with windows for workgroups 3.11
I've been fiddling with my smb.conf for days now and I can't get it to work.
Could you maybe share yours so I can see what I do wrong?

Please just keep in mind that FTP now is generally considered a legacy technology by itself.
Many web browsers et cetera dropped support for it years ago.
Personally, I had to resort to things like wget myself due to this.
