Good day

I'm really struggling for over a week to try and connect to my external SMB hard drive. It's on my routers samba server. It's really straight forward for other devices both Android cellphone and iPad Pro, they have zero problem, they detect and connect instantly to the external SMB hard drives.
But using various SMB clients , Krusader, Dolphin browser etc,... they just dont detect it ... when I do put in the IP address, most the time I get "connection to host is broken"
I've checked samba services and all seems to be working properly.
Running Kubunto, 20.04
Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
Kernel Version: 5.4.0-42-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
Memory: 7,7 GiB of RAM

Any one else have this issue and got a fix solution, please?

TIA

From Dolphin go to Network->Shared Folders (SMB) and type you server smb://yourserveripaddress
Is hard to find the problem without your smb.conf.

i also had issues, I found tutorial below, was very useful.
