Having trouble seeing your Linux server on a Windows network? In this video, I explain why Windows no longer recognizes the discovery protocol used by the Samba service in Linux for file sharing. I walk you through installing the wsdd service on Linux, which enables the server to advertise its shares to Windows machines, making it visible in the network. This simple, effective fix will streamline networking and make file access effortless for your users.
