Solved Problem accessing freeBSD ver 11.2 from Windows after install of 11.2

C

Crotalus

I started over with ver 11.2 after corrupt version 10.4 due to sqlite3data base problem. The install appeared to go OK. I had saved off the important configuration files to be used for the new install. I installed samba48 current version 4.8.2_1 and used the smb4.conffrom the previous version. Here is what is interesting; When I tried to access the shared drives drives from Windows they would not connect. The new installation of FreeBSD does not show on the search of the network with Windows. I can access the new installation from other FreeBSD computers using ssh, telnet without any problems. Telnet from a Windows computer will not connect, but connects to another FreeBSD computer including PfSENSE. Using PuTTY and a software product called SecureCrt from a company called VanDyke had no success. They had no problem connecting under the old version 10.4 They can not find the FreeBSD computer in the network. No changes have been done to the Windows computer. I also are able to ping the new installation from Windows without any problem. The following should show that the installed modules should be OK.

I don't know if the problem is with version 11.2 or with the ports/packages. I have no idea why the Windows box does not see the FreeBSD box as it had under the old version 10.4. If anybody has any ideas on where to look, I am open to any suggestions no matter how bizarre.
 
I don't think that samba is the main problem because the other programs PuTTY, SecureCrt no longer works. Both of these programs are run from Windows. PuTTY shows a screen with the cursor and no "logon as" and SecureCrt shows an immediate non connect.

smbtree returns nothing even with the different options.

What is the "192.168.20.137" as I have no device with that ip address?

Here is the outputs;

show your ifconfig output. You maybe have wrong IP address configured or more than one interface.

ps.
"client max protocol" is for samba client connection. There's different variable for the server
example:

# this set the server minimum protocol to SMB2_10: Windows 7 SMB2 version.
server min protocol = SMB2

# this set the server maximum protocol version to SMB3_11 variant
server max protocol = SMB3

# this set the client minimum protocol to SMB2_10
client min protocol = SMB2

# this set the client max supported protocol
client max protocol = SMB3

# this will set the minimum supported protocol for server it's synonym of server min protocol
min protocol = SMB2

# this will set the maximum supported protocol for the server. It's synonym of server max protocol.
max protocol = SMB3

# this will set IPC$ minimum protocol
client ipc min protocol = SMB2
 
Here is the output. I was looking at the broadcast address 192.168.20.231and did a little research on what a broadcast is and what it does. I saw where all the examples were using 192.168.20.255. So I changed an entry /etc/rc.confto ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.20.7 netmask 255.255.255.0". I had a net mask of 192.168.20.24. I don't know why I used 24 in the setup. Everything works now.

Thank you for the help. You set me on the right path to fix this thing.

One more question. How do I mark this thing closed?

This was the old output;
