I am trying to access my samba server from Windows and mount it as a network drive. I get an unspecified error 0x80004005 from windows.
I have gone into the samba log folder and can see two telltale log files: one with my windows computer's IP, and one with my windows computer's name. They are both empty however, but this at least shows me that the connection is getting to ubuntu (it is not a windows firewall problem)
I'm assuming I just have something set incorrectly in smb.conf? If so can anyone shine a light on this and tell me what I need to do instead?

LOL, Morbius1's suggestion helped me in my case:
sudo ufw disable
I didn't think it was a firewall issue because the firewall shows Samba was added to the application list. This then reminded me that I did also read somewhere that Windows uses a different port than the usual to access Samba. Despite having read that, I didn't bother to dig deeper to see what ports were actually included with the Samba rule facepalm.
