Hi Jaroslav_Jasek 

 

89.221.223.251 is a public IP address; I suspect that a firewall may be blocking port 445 traffic from coming outside in to the device. When you test with localhost, it is just testing the NIC on the device itself so won't be going through any external firewalls (only the Windows Firewall if it is enabled).

 

Is there an internal IP you can test?

      Thanks for confirming Jaroslav_Jasek 

       

      Can you show the result of a tracert using the IP or domain?
