Description Warren Jones 2004-11-02 20:17:21 UTC 
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.)

I'm having this problem in KDE 4.2.1
Comment 2 Dawit Alemayehu 2013-08-18 23:18:52 UTC 
KDE 3 is no longer maintained.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.
