Cant connect to my SAMBA Server on Windows 8.1
Hi guys,

At home I have a computer with Linux (OpenSuSe).

There I created a samba server (samba 4)

Some weeks ago I had Windows 7 and there, I could connect without problems. It's possible to connect and I can access to my files.

But then I installed Windows 8.1 Proffesional.

There it works perfectly too BUT

1) when I disable and enable the network adapters I can connect but not login.

2) when I'm go to saving energy and come back I can connect but not login.

Well I even browsed communitys and they said I should disable in the saving energy mode, that this cant disable the network. It doesnt work ...

But when Im restarting my computer it works?!

Please help me!

Thanks in advance!

The first step that I would recommend is to ensure that the network adapter drivers for your computer are complete up-to-date with the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer.

Secondly, I would consider the possibility that there is a conflict between an active set of credentials and authentication of a new session with the NAS. You can clear credentials for all active connections with the command net use * /del. Then attempt to reconnect.
