Connect from Mint 21 to XAMPP on Win 10
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
My local LAN started out as a Win 10 LAN, running XAMMP on a Windows PC.
Now I would like to access the web server of the Win Server from a Mint PC on the same LAN, but have no clue how to go a bout it.
The information I have found, tells me I need to install SMB/CIFS on the Mint PC and I have done so, but no luck.
I have tried accessing the web server by it local IP address
Some browsers insist on searching for this string and, of course, fail.
One finally, Falcon, tries and returns with the error message
Even though I had given it the IP address, it did resolve it to the correct name, but still tells me the server could not be found.
I have pinged the address, and it is up and present.
Since this server has worked well for years and is still working, on the Window LAN side, the problem must be some where on my Mint 21 setup.
Any pointers or links will be very much appreciated
