This command should do it.

It sounds as if Elementary OS might be having the issue. I'm guessing you are attempting to connect via the file manager; which one is it? Also. what's the output of smbclient (see post 14) when you point it at the server?

The stack exchange bounty expires in 3 days. Still no solution

ElementaryOS uses pantheon file manager, that is part of pantheon desktop and is developed by the same team I guess.

This is the output from nmap:
Host is up (0.000076s latency).
Not shown: 993 closed ports

53/tcp open domain

9999/tcp open abyss
No exact OS matches for host (If you know what OS is running on it, see http://nmap.org/submit/ ).

Output from smbclient //192.168.x.x/temp -U me%mypassword

Is this the right way I'm using smbclient.

What are the versions of samba and samba client that you are using? Seems like they may be in conflict? ie, computer1 samba version is X, computer2 samba version is Y and are incompatible.

I guess smbclient is version 3.6.3.

and samba version is 3.6.3.
