No access to shared folders on Ubuntu from Windows

sudo apt install samba

sudo apt install smbclient

samba -V

Version 4.16.4-Ubuntu

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

   workgroup = WORKGROUP

   client max protocol = SMB3

   client min protocol = NT1

   server max protocol = SMB3

   server min protocol = NT1

   security = user

   force user = user

sudo service smbd restart

sudo service smbd status

sudo smbstatus // display connections to server

sudo apt-mark hold samba // unhold samba TO UPGRADE

sudo apt-mark hold smbclient // unhold smbclient TO UPGRADE

These parameters allow to browse Windows LAN and network machines in Dolphin. To access shared folders on Windows PCs login and password are needed: Any Any. Problem with Windows 7 PC.

Actually only server min protocol = NT1 can be used, but in such case there will be no WORKGROUP icon in Dolphin and NO access to Windows 10 computers with SMB 1.0 activated BUT access to Windows 7 PC will be granted - therefore both client NT1 are necessary (for Windows 10 PCs with SMB 1.0). All Windows PCs and Android devices have access to shared folders on Kubuntu 22.10.
