I'm having this problem in KDE 4.2.1 KDE 3 is no longer maintained. Feel free to reopen the ticket if the problem is still applicable in the current stable KDE 4 version. Thank you for your report. |
Version: kdebase3-samba-3.2.3-8 (using KDE KDE 3.2.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: gcc 3.3.3 OS: Linux When I try to access an SMB share using Konqueror, I get a message like this: An error occurred while loading smb://wjones@nfswkgrp.tc.fluke.com/nfswkgrp: Connection to host smb://wjones@nfswkgrp.tc.fluke.com/nfswkgrp is broken I can access these shares without difficulty using the numeric IP address of the host. The problem is specific to Konqueror: host names work fine using smbclient or "mount -t smbfs", for example: smbclient //nfswkgrp.tc.fluke.com/nfswkgrp mount -t smbfs -o username=wjones \ //nfswkgrp.tc.fluke.com/nfswkgrp /mnt The failures with Konqueror are not consistent -- some users can connect to some servers, others cannot. I haven't been able to find a pattern. This is similar to bug #65800, but the error message is different. (That bug is marked as RESOLVED/WORKSFORME.)
