    Sorry for letting you wait.

    To be able to browse the network neighborhood with Smb4K 3.0.x, please follow the instructions given here. If this does not work, please let me know.

    Hi, I have the same issue and in trying to view your solution I get the "The requested URL was not found on this server". Could you re-post the solution please?

    Thank you for making me aware of this. The URL to the online version of the handbook changed. Thus, the workaround is decribed here.

    For documentation, here is the respective section:

    With the Samba 4.7 release, the default protocol version has been set to SMB3 by the Samba team. Unfortunately, Samba's client library cannot handle it correctly at the moment and browsing the network neighborhood will fail. For this reason, users of Samba 4.7 and above need to add the following setting to the [global] section of the smb.conf file to force Samba to use SMB1 (NT1) and, thus, fix the browsing of the network neighborhood:

    [global]
    ...
    client max protocol = NT1
    ...
