    Cannot Set Up Samba Following Tutorial?

    I'm following this tutorial:
    https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/ins...r-ubuntu-16-04

    and cannot seem to get the Samba share to appear in Dolphin.

    Here are the relevant parts of my smb.conf file (From testparm):
    Code:
    root@scilab_comp_0:~# testparm 
    Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
    rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
    WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
    Processing section "[Anonymous]"
    Processing section "[printers]"
    Processing section "[print$]"
    Loaded services file OK.
    Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
    
    Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions
    
    # Global parameters
    [global]
         dns proxy = No
         log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
         map to guest = Bad User
         max log size = 1000
         netbios name = SCILAB_0
         obey pam restrictions = Yes
         pam password change = Yes
         panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
         passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
         passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
         security = USER
         server role = standalone server
         server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
         syslog = 0
         unix password sync = Yes
         usershare allow guests = Yes
         workgroup = SCILAB
         idmap config * : backend = tdb
         guest ok = Yes
         hosts allow = 192.168.1.
         hosts deny = ALL
    
    [Anonymous]
         comment = Scilab File Server
         create mask = 0755
         path = /Data/Shared
         read only = No
    And the filesystem:
    Code:
    root@scilab_comp_0:~# ls -l /Data/Shared/
    total 0
    drwsrwsr-x+ 1 root sambashare   0 Dec 15 04:46 Alexander
    drwsrwsr-x+ 1 root sambashare   0 Dec 15 04:46 Mama
    drwsrwsr-x+ 1 root sambashare 140 Dec 14 04:35 MediaServer


    Alternative:

    I also tried using this minimalistic configuration file:
    [global]
    map to guest = Bad User
    security = USER
    idmap config * : backend = tdb
    guest ok = Yes

    [public]
    comment = public share, no need to enter username and password
    path = /Data/Share
    read only = No

    The folder I'm trying to share is called /Data which has several folders inside of it.
    I already ran: sudo setfacl -R -m "u:nobody:rwx" /
    and restarted the services, but nothing appears in the Dolphin's network section under SMB.

    Neither the server, nor my computer have ufw enabled.

    How can I resolve this?

    Full File:
    Code:
    #
    # Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
    #
    #
    # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
    # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
    # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which 
    # are not shown in this example
    #
    # Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
    # commented-out examples in this file.
    #  - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting
    #    differs from the default Samba behaviour
    #  - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default
    #    behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
    #    enough to be mentioned here
    #
    # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
    # "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic 
    # errors.
