I tried this:

smb://192.168.50.183/Downloads

and I get this:

No such file or directory

Yet my other Windows machines see it fine.

Again, try:

On the Windows machine (”Machine B”), create a folder (aka directory) to share:

C:\shthis

and enable sharing for it - and be sure that user “joeA” has full permission for access to that folder.

So, you would be trying to connect from the Linux box (”Machine A”) to:

smb://192.168.50.183/shthis

Sometimes helps, when both machines each have a user account that is using the exact same username and password:

Machine A (Linux box)
Username: joeA
Password: smpassWordA

Machine B (Windows box)
Username: joeA
Password: smpassWordA
