I can reach my Linux machine from Windows PCs, but cannot reach any Windows PCs from Linux.

I am using Fedora 33 with an IP of 192.168.1.177.
My Windows 10 laptop has an IP of 192.168.1.2 and a shared folder with permissions set to "everyone."

SELinux is set to "Permissive."

It pings just fine but

I am using Konqueror as the network browser and when I tell it to go to //192.168.1.2 I get:
Details of the Request:

URL: file://192.168.1.2
Protocol: file
Date and Time: Monday, October 25, 2021 4:19:00 PM EDT
Additional Information: //192.168.1.2
Description:

The specified file or folder <strong></strong> does not exist.

It does indeed exist and can be reached by Windows connected to the same router.

You need to tell it you're browsing a Windows share. Put smb:// in front of the IP address.
