Samba file server access from windows

sz flag

I have a Samba share folder in my Virtualbox Ubuntu server. Is it possible to access that shared folder from Windows?
If yes, I can't connect to the shared folder in Windows how I debug for the problem? I used this guide to set up my Ubuntu server in Vbox. img1 img2

How is your network configured in VirtualBox? It must be set to promiscuous mode and to allow traffic from all network locations, otherwise it will be filtered by the host system.

This mainly works if you use "bridge" network in Virtualbox.

if you can not access the virtualbox node via network in any way, you can not access a samba share (or any other type)

This is not a Samba issue but a Virtual Box network setup issue. How to do this has already been answered in posts such as this: https://askubuntu.com/q/293816/134479

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
