I can now again connect to the shares via the "Connect Network Drive"
window, choosing a drive letter and entering:
\\<fully qualified server name>\<share name>.
I still do not see the Shares (on Windows 8.1) in the "Connect Network
Drive" window in the "Search" part.
Kind regards,
Hans

You are running an out-of-date version of samba
(2:4.2.14+dfsg-0+deb8u6 vs. 4.2.14+dfsg-0+deb8u7+b1). In addition,
you seem to be missing samba-common-bin, samba-dsdb-modules, and
python-samba, all of which are dependencies of samba.
Try 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba'
If that doesn't include install the removed packages, run, 'sudo
apt-get install samba-common-bin samba-dsdb-modules python-samba'

Did you run an apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday?
Debian released
updated Samba packages as part of a security
update. However,
the updated packages had dependency issues and were
quickly
replaced by new packages. If you attempted to run a
dist-upgrade with the broken packages, it would
have installed
samba and samba-core. Check to see whether your
samba packages
are still installed.

Hi,
yesterday, 14. July, about 9:30 pm my SAMBA
shares on
Debian simply
stopped working. I did not do anything on the
system.
When I now try to connect to them from Windows
8.1 I do not
see them
in the "Connect Network Drive" window.
When I enter the address manually I get the
error "The
connection isn't
accepted from the remote device ...".
All texts are my translations from German, so
the will be only
approximately correct.
Any advice for me and what debug info shall I
supply?
Kind regards,
Hans
No, definitely not. I do updates/upgrades rather
infrequently and I
issued (packed in a small script):
/usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb
apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y autoremove
only after the error occurred.
Kind regards,
Hans
