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
- Code: Select all
This site can’t be reached
humcarbide’s server IP address could not be found.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy, firewall and DNS configuration
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
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
