Hello everyone,

I set up a file-sharing server on my raspberry pi using samba and tailscale to connect to it from networks that aren't the same as the raspberry pi's.

Recently I added a second user so that they can backup their stuff. On linux everything works fine but on Micro$hit's Windows 10 it doesn't let them connect to the file server. Or rather, at first I tried with an unrelated person who only accessed the public folder as a "guest" (rather: no user) from windows and it worked. Then we tried with this person and it let her access the server at first but wouldn't let her log in with her credentials. Turns out I forgot to add the user to samba, so I do that, reboot the server, and then it just doesn't let her connect to the server in the first place, giving an 0x80004005 unspecified error.

I should also point out that she's accessing the machine as an external tailscale user with the device being shared to her.

What could be the cause of this and how can we go about solving it? I'd love to just tell her to just install linux and be on with our day but that simply isn't much of an option.

Sorry if the information isn't too precise, I'm still a bit of a noob.

EDIT: It works through the local network after disabling the firewall but connecting through tailscale doesn't work.
