   Accessing Windoes Shares from Linux

   As I had decided what I wanted on my new Linux box I thought I would do a   
   clean install (the original had some failed app installs) so I did, very   
   quick (with Ventoy).   
      
   I then discovered I couldn't browse my Windows shares :-(   
      
   I can get to the QNAP NAS and to the Internet but not to my main PC. I had   
   this first time round and I think I solved it by enabling SMB1 on the   
   Windows box but I tried so many things I can't be sure.   
      
   Samba is running on the Linux box and "smbclient -L host" does come up   
   with a list of shares but the Linux file manager can't find it.   
      
   I did it once but seem lost now, any hints/clues/advice please?
