Samba share not showing in Win 10 VM guest

Question

Samba share not showing in Win 10 VM guest

FlexMcMurphy opened this issue a year ago · 3 comments

Hello,

I have a Pi on my LAN with a few Samba shares. I successfully use wsdd to make that Pi auto-populate in the Network Neighbourhood of a Win 10 bare metal install.

However I set up Win 10 also in a VM in Virtualbox and in this case that Pi does not auto-populate. I can "Map network drive" to that Pi, ping it also and access the shares that way but wondering why does that Pi not auto-populate?

Confusingly I have two other devices that also use wsdd and they DO auto-populate in that Win 10 VM.

I tried restarting that Pi. I checked its smb.conf. I am using SMBv3 which Win 10 supports.

The Virtualbox Network Settings of the Win 10 VM are set to "Bridged Adapter" and point to the correct Wifi adapter so I have network connectivity from the Win 10 guest to the lan and can ping the Pi.
After some more research I think my issue might be related to this issue and I need to specify the interface that is connected to the network on which the host should be announced using the -i/--interface option as mentioned in the WSDD GitHub Readme, but I might be wrong and am confused about how to do that?!

Update

Ok I am trying to debug...
I now manually start wsdd on the Pi like this:
sudo /usr/bin/wsdd -vv -i eth0

eth0 is the interface on the Pi that it is connected to the router with.
I restarted the Win 10 VM and some messages comes through to wsdd... see below.
Also in the output below you can see me successfully connecting to the Pi from other operating systems (different ip addresses, e.g: 192.168.1.233)
Ipv6 address below fe80::5801:cc50:46af:57c7 (ipv4=192.168.1.187) is the ip address of the Win 10 VM in Virtualbox, and the output shows responses like "known message" and "dropping it". Why is this?

To clarify... I have two other devices running wsdd and they both get populated fine in the Win 10 VM. These versions of wsdd appear to be written in C. Whereas the wsdd I have on the Pi is the christgau python3 version. As per the christgau wsdd Issue 8 there is something different about how these different versions handle multicast UDP messages and scenarios with network interfaces on virtualized bridges. Or such is my meagre understanding of all this!

Should I be making the Win 10 VM talk on the network over ipv4 and not ipv6 maybe?

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Flex

Hello,

I have done some more tests.

First of all, I am sorry to say but after reading through Issue 8 I tried installing wsdd2.

# sudo apt update
# sudo apt install wsdd2

Now it DOES work... my Pi auto-populates in the Network Neighbourhood of the Win 10 VM. That satisfied me for about 2 hrs because now I'm really curious what exactly is going wrong with the Python3 version of wsdd?

I see from issue 15 that someone else found they had to specify ipv4 or else it would not work. I was wondering earlier if that might be related. So I tried that with wsdd and it DOES work that way.

I ran the command as below and then opened up the file explorer in the Win 10 VM. The Pi machine was already there.

I'm curious what's going wrong and why does this fix it and why all the "known message" and "dropping it" in the output messages?
One difference to observe when it works and doesn't work is...
887:wsdd INFO(pid 6182): 192.168.1.187:59212(eth0) - - "Probe urn:...
vs
933:wsdd INFO(pid 2268): [fe80::5801:cc50:46af:57c7]:61017(eth0) - - "Probe urn:...

Anyway, at least I have a working work-around. Thank you @christgau.

Cheers,

Ipv6 address below fe80::5801:cc50:46af:57c7 (ipv4=192.168.1.187) is the ip address of the Win 10 VM in Virtualbox, and the output shows responses like "known message" and "dropping it". Why is this?

That's intentionally and caused by how the protocol works on top of unreliable UDP datagrams. Essentially, repeatedly received messages are just ignored ("dropped"). That's nothing you should care about.

One difference to observe when it works and doesn't work is... 887:wsdd INFO(pid 6182): 192.168.1.187:59212(eth0) - - "Probe urn:... vs 933:wsdd INFO(pid 2268): [fe80::5801:cc50:46af:57c7]:61017(eth0) - - "Probe urn:...

That's indeed strange, but I suspect the IPv6 networking might be not working 100% perfect. I'm not sure how the network settings for your VM look like but maybe there's an issue. Since, the WSD protocol works only with link local addresses (or at least wsdd does so), it may depend on how networking between the host and VMs is setup. On the other hand, you already see a message from a link local sender, but I wonder why there's no further interaction going on.

Thus, you could give IPv6-only for wsdd a chance (wsdd.py -6 ...). If you are interested you may also run tcpdump/wireshark to see if there are messages flying around.

Anyway, at least I have a working work-around. Thank you @christgau.

You're welcome.

Feel also free to close this issue if you found the workaround is sufficient for you.

Hi Steffen,

I'm not sure why I have to do it this way but it's working for me now if I start up wsdd by specifying the interface on the device running wsdd and to instruct it to only use ipv4.

sudo /usr/bin/wsdd --shortlog -i eth0 -4

I never had to do it that way before but maybe something changed in my LAN config I'm not even aware of.

Cheers,

Flex
