Hi  Amirhossein Karimpour

Please try the below steps

  1. Check the IP address is reachable ,do Ping ,traceroute.
  2. Check windows firewall is configured to block the SMB traffic. ( in both source server and the users machine). Telnet SMB port by IP address and host name
  3. Try to restart ComputerBrowser service in services.msc and see if it is working.
  4. Check SMB configuration in registry SMB needs to be enabled on source and destination systems. ( see Additional references)
  5. Check for DNS name resolution forward lookup and reverse lookup in your scenario the ip address to host name resolution needs to be verified.
  6. Check the NIC Binding IP V 6 vs IP V4 and binding order.
  7. Delete all the hidden Network adapters or  network adapters from device manager restart the server then  reinstall the adapters and then try to access using IP.

HOW TO REMOVE HIDDEN NETWORK ADAPTERS

Windows automatically hides devices that are not presently connected to the system, but they still exist in Windows' configuration. This is especially problematic when changing virtual network adapters and not being able to remove IP configurations from old adapters. To resolve:

 

  1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.
  2. Type "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1", and then press ENTER.
  3. Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC, and then press ENTER.
  4. Click View, and then click Show Hidden Devices.
  5. Expand the Network Adapters tree.
  6. Right-click the dimmed network adapter, and then click Uninstall.

Hi,

Hi,

Thanks for your update.

Did you try the solution in the link you mentioned? 

https://superuser.com/questions/1240213/cannot-connect-to-windows-share-via-local-network-ip-address-but-can-by-localho

Please type the following commands to check if the SMB ports are listening. 

netstat -ano | find ":139"
netstat -ano | find ":445"

Furthermore, would you mind posting your IP setting of the sharing computer by IPCONFIG command?

Please note to cover up your sensitive privacy information while you uploading the screenshot.

Please also check the option "Enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP" in TCP/IP Advanced Setting is selected as below.

In addition, may I ask whether you access to the address/hostname locally or from other PCs?

Highly appreciate your effort and time. If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,

Michael
