That error is caused by your hostname in ubuntu is too long (in this case the hostname is IP-172-31-25-163)
Windows only accepted netbios name (computer name/hostname) max 15 digit characters. So your ubuntu must follow windows rule.
Resolution:
change your ubuntu hostname with smaller characters (no more than 15 characters). Example: 72-31-25-163
