Why can't I change the domain when connecting to network shares in Windows 8?
- by Nathan Osman
I have a computer running Windows 8.1 Pro. I also have Ubuntu 12.04.3 Server running within Hyper-V on the same machine. The Ubuntu server has Samba installed. Both the host and guest OS are connected to the workgroup WORKGROUP.
When I open up "Network" in Windows 8.1 and attempt to connect to the server (both by name and IP address), I receive the following prompt:
Entering the correct username and password for an account on the server fails. /etc/samba/smb.conf has the following share definitions set:
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
