Problem:
With openSuse Leap 15.4 as smb-client, I try to connect to a Synology smb-server in my local home network. All attempts to connect lead to errors! The errors are “unable to connect” and “does not exist” (see pdf-file below).
Solution:
I have found out how to connect manually to the smb-server. See the solution in the following pdf-file explained (all steps are explained in user friendly graphical mode. No command lines).

Question:
The KDE Network Wizard “Add Network Folder” is still not working. Does anyone have an idea?
Yes, it seems that within the smb-client the connection between smb and the kwallet is somehow not working. So by just simply adding the requisite to kwallet the direct connection to the smb-server works.
I usually just create a places bookmark
Thanks for the link. I didn’t test a dolphin “place entry” or bookmark, but I’m quite sure that’s the same as putting in the smb-server address manually within the dolphin network folder view (as described in slide 2 in the pdf-file).
A bug report may be needed.
Yes, I think so too. I will check if there is already something reported.
Not sure why that doesn’t work for you. I’m prompted automatically (authentication dialogue box) for shares that require it, and can choose to ‘Remember password’ if desired.

Actually, it’s as simple as dragging the manually entered URL to the ‘Places’ panel for next time access is required.

is interesting.
I tested it with a fresh installed & up-to-date openSuse Leap 15.4 on my laptop and with a running & updated openSuse Leap 15.4 workplace on my desktop. With both machines: I had the exact same problem as described. The described workaround worked.
I use the KWallet in combination with a gpg-key (not as “classic blowfish encrypted file”).
On the Synology smb-server side I tested with some different settings, but these had no effects. The min is SMB2 the max is SMB3.
Are you using the KDE version offered by the KDE repos?
No, I am using the default standard installation with the official iso-image. After that, the only repos I added was Packman and libdvd (and only for the desktop PC also AMG GPU). All with no “switching system packages”.
What I am trying to say here is:
When you do a default standard installation with the official Leap 15.4 - KDE iso-image (no customisation, nothing special), then do all coming updates, create your own gpg-key, based on that create a new kwallet and then try to connect to a smb-server =>then you will have the described problem (my description).
