When I try to visit \\192.168.1.x on one of my computers I get the following error:
\\192.168.1.x is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The account is not authorized to log in from this station.
At first I thought it might be because the SMB server had hit the limit of concurrent connections but netstat just shows one "active connection".
Problem: The account is not authorized to login from this station suggests setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters\enablesecuritysignature to 0 but it's already 0 and I'm still getting the error.
The laptop I'm trying to connect from (Windows 10) is one I use on multiple different networks FWIW. I use it at my job and I use it at my house. I'm also able to open the SMB share from other computers on my LAN (again Windows 10) - just not this dual use laptop.
The server is running Windows 7. The username on the laptop does not exist on the server but I wouldn't expect that to make a difference - what I'd expect to happen in this scenario is that the laptop would prompt me for a username / password that the server would accept but it's not doing that.
Any ideas?
