Re: Some excerpts from SMB FST Read Me file

Before I throw in the towel on getting Stephen's cool new SMB FST working for my specific use case, may I ask someone who is currently running David Schmidt's GSPort .v31 (with Marinetti / Uthernet LL 1.0.5) on a Windows 10 Home computer to see if they can access their SMB2 shares that are on the *SAME* computer? (ie - local shares)?

Stephen was certainly correct -- Windows 10 Home does have an SMB2 server. I have it enabled and running, in fact, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time in the Windows registry (and elsewhere) and viewing Wireshark logs trying different things suggested on the Windows help forums to make a connection.

Regardless, all I can manage is: "An SMB connection could not be established with the server."

FWIW, other TCP apps work on the emulated GSPort computer, including Ewen's Webber and SAFE2.

So, I'm just asking if perhaps it has something to do with GSPort under Windows 10 Home accessing SMB shares on the local computer.

If someone has that specific instance working, I trudge on until it works. Otherwise, I'll stop beating my head against the wall.

{Also, I don't have a modern computer to access the Windows shares via SMB2, as my old Tiger PowerMac uses SMB1}.

Thanks.
