 Which may only mean that the network discovery side is working... On
mine it shows my Pi-Star R-Pi, but not my web-server R-Pi.

 Yet, I've never configured Samba on either (it seems the Pi-Star image
has it configured when burned to SD card). I can "open" the Pi-Star node,
but it is an empty directory.


 I have just followed the instructions (with some tweaks -- need sudo on
the chown stage and it is "Shares" not "Share" at the smb.conf copy stage,
and used "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" to restart nmbd and smbd, and
sudo smbpasswd), at

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/598615/a-simple-beginners-guide-to-se
tting-up-a-samba-share/

and when refreshing the Win10 "network browser" window, the "Shares"
directory appears under my Pi-Star node, and opening it reveals the edited
smb.conf created via the instructions on the link.


 Interestingly -- If I use "Map Network Drive", the [browse...] shows
the Pi-Star node, and within that node it shows both the Pi-Star home
directory AND the "Shares" directory created above.

 Also -- I can "map" the directories WITHOUT providing account/password
-- so there may be something in the Pi-Star image that makes guest
connections possible. I was expecting to use "other credentials" and
provide the R-Pi Samba account/password pair.

 I'm going to see what happens if I follow that URL using my web-server
(though the firewall might block me)
...

Well -- can't get my server R-Pi to be seen by the network browser/map
network drive... (It is, of course, visible via SSH and HTTP). I have no
idea what may be different between the Pi-Star installation and the server
installation (other than Pi-Star 3.x is based upon Jessie, while the server
is running Stretch). [addendum: something just changed -- the node is
showing, but no shares][And it's gone again... and back again after
invoking "add network location"][and gone again after restarting samba
daemon]

{Removing samba from server box since I only need SSH/SFTP to administer
it}




 But if your node /and shares on it/ are being seen by Window network,
then the stuff in the URL should make something "mapable".
