I have little experience with networked file sharing, such as using old 
Wins such as XP and W7.

Phase I

Desktop, bios '11, 8G ram, AMD Athlon II, SSD Ventoy/ed, booting live 
Linux Mint Cinn 23. Install Webmin & samba, use its network samba 
function to share a connected USB. I'm able to access the USB from a 
similar desktop running LM installed on its SSD.

Phase II

Pi 3B, 1G ram, running '25 May Raspbian ie Deb 12 LXDE/OB from SD. 
Install Webmin/samba and similarly used that to share a USB connected hd 
sata spinner.  I am NOT able to access that external hd from my LAN w/ 
such as the above installed LM desktop; that is, I can /see/ it, but the 
authentication window step fails and just repeats.
