I’m glad somebody got you sorted out. It took me days the first time :-)

It’s been a few years (like 20) give me an hour or two to get a few things done and I’ll have a look.

I was suggesting that a public share might not mean anonymously accessible. You may need to authenticate, some OSes will try to do that for you, some won’t.

I was suggesting attempting to mount the share with a login and password of guest.

guest/guest? I think you’re misunderstanding public.

Bravo!
