I am running KDE Plasma 5 in Tumbleweed and like to use smb://ip.addr in dolphin to access shares and this works fine for my NAS and Linux shares but when I use the IP address of a Windows 7 PC it says it cannot be found. I know the PC is on the lan and can ping it OK. Accessing via smbclient shows:-
smbclient -L 192.168.0.8

Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing.
Connection to 192.168.0.8 failed (Error NT_STATUS_RESOURCE_NAME_NOT_FOUND)
Failed to connect with SMB1 -- no workgroup available
I can also access it via the PC’s name with smbclient with this result:-
smbclient -L STUARTS-PC

I have NETBIOS over TCP/IP enabled on the Windows 7 PC. I can do the abovetuart on my Leap 42.3 system and it works OK.
Also if I type smb:// on its own in dolphin it should display the workgroup and then if I click on that display associated PCs. This does NOT work on Tumbleweed but does work on Leap 42.3.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
