    I have 4 computers. 3 are running Win 8.1. and one Linux/Samba.

    One of them "A ", has printer and some other folders shared on LAN. The problem is that neither of the other computers "B" & "C" can access "A ". Its not accepting the user name/password.

    All computers can access & login to the Samba server without any issue.

    For a test, I brought in a Win 7 computers and it can access & login "A" without any problem.

    At my wits end.

    Is Homegroup being used or have you disabled it completely on all Windows computers?
    Also, whenever I setup sharing I change the net adapter settings by:
    Uninstalling QoS
    Uncheck TCP/IP v6
    Advanced button > uncheck LMHosts & check use NetBios over TCP/IP

    Tony,

    Homegroup is disabled on all the computers. IPV6 has not been disabled. It never was but suddenly everything seems to have stopped working.

    Don't think so as WinXP laptop & Win7 computer can both connect without any problem.

    Baffling. I would try removing the shares and then recreating them.

    All the computers have the same usernames & passwords on all the computers & are also mirrored on Samba server.

    No changes were made in any profiles on any computers.

    Not tried anything till now but Win 10 virtual machine running on the main computer "A" can access the shared folders on "A ". This leads me to believe that there is some problem with my other machines.

    I am as baffled & confused as you are. Tried recreating shares, no luck.

    Seems some form of ghost or evil spirit has entered my computers and is creating havoc. :D

    Try changing the passwords. I mean use the Change password thing but type the same password, i.e. recreate the same passwords.
