I AM GROOT (and so are you)
So here's a weird problem:
I wanted to share my files from my pc(Linux) to my lappy(windows), but my PC didn't had a wifi card, so I used USB tethering on my PC.
I configured to share a windows folder through SMB and configured the Linux one through dolphin(Samba) My Linux PC got my windows folder, when I put up the IP address and put in the username and password, but my windows lappy for the life of it couldn't get the Linux folder, then I connected my phone(which was doing the tethering to Linux PC) to the Linux machine's SMB (through solid file explorer)it picked up my linux's folder. Then at last I pinged my Linux machine using windows, and my windows machine couldn't pick it up!!
At last I gave up, my guess is, the Linux machine wasn't connected to the router directly, so my windows PC couldn't ping it, but really that doesn't explain why Linux machine was able to pick up my windows SMB, maybe a one way network ?
Now, I ain't a networking expert by any means, so if someone here knows about it more, can you tell me tf was wrong here? Shead some optic fibre light
