Cannot connect to Azure server via SMB
For some reason I cannot connect to my work Azure file server via SMB. I've been given a link to connect to the server from my Mac which works on every network I've tried it on (even cellular) except...
Thanks
- What Internet Service Provider (ISP) device provides internet to the Orbi router?
Only a modem (provided by Spectrum)
- How is the SMB connection described?
URL
- What is the LAN subnet on the router?
192.168.1.x
Extra info. Connection fails from both PC and Mac (doesn't get to username and password entry) on home network (either the old RBK50 network or the new RBK763 network)
When connecting from iOS I can enter username and password and login (although once logged in cannot view any files within the root folder)
Windows Firewall is sometimes touchy about "Public" connections. As a test, could temporarily disable the Windows Firewall?
If you resolve that URL, does it produce a different IP from 192.168.1.x?
(for example, open a Command Window and enter
nslookup <URL>
Not 192.168.1.x but 192.169.x.x
Don't have a windows box to hand. Primary concern is getting it working on MacOS
Tomorrow will do a quick test trying to connect directly through the modem without the Orbi network, just to rule out the ISP
Thanks again for all the suggestions
