Hoobastank4ever97 posted:ok it's been 17 hours and i couldn't figure it out so, this all goes back to the poo poo i told you in my original post workgroup discovery doesn't work. you need to reference the share by ip address unless you have a loving active directory. that is to say \\10.0.0.5\mypornstash instead of \\mybigstupidneongamerpc\mypornstash of course, even if you get it it to "work" it will still suck rear end because desktop windows is deliberately crippled as a fileserver. you need to install some version of windows server if you want this to work properly or linux desktop windows is designed not to work for this purpose. you are not supposed to do this, like, ever. windows desktop filesharing competes with airdrop, not with a fileserver. (why would anyone spend $400 on a windows server license if a $79 desktop sku could serve files?!)

Desktop windows caps the number of inbound smb sessions to 5 but so long as he isn't exceeding that it will work well enough. Stop taking out your rear end.

so what's the deal with windows and sharing files exactly? someone wants to share files between windows and android and they expect you to buy windows server 2019 if you want to watch your animes on a firestick? i mean i know what i am doing is "technically" a server but isn't that a pretty loose interpretation of the term here?

renting an s3 glacier and throwing encrypted 7zip files at it every month or six has the advantages of being both cheaper than an adaptec card and being an actual backup medium
