Description of problem: What doesn't work : ----------------- When I tried to access a shared directory from Mageia-9 to Windows (or Mageia-9) I've got the following result : In dolphin I set - smb://hostname.local/Shared-directory : Error message displayed in dolphin : "impossible to connect to host <<smb://hostname.local>> or "sharename doesn't exist" Looking at logs : dolphin "kf.kio.core: Invalid URL: QUrl("")" I have tried with krusader instead of dolphin : same negative result I have tried with smbclient : same result with this error message "do_connect: Connection to hostname.local failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)" What does work : -------------- When I replace hostname by IP address, I can connect to the same host. In dolphin smb://IP Address of the same host/Shared-directory In console smbclient //IP Address of the same host/Shared-directory Seems to be related to zeroconf hostname resolution but : ping hostname.local ping -4 hostname.local ping -6 hostname.local All work, so zeroconf hostname resolution is working. I feel (but not sure) : --------------------- .. that it has worked in a recent past with one the first MGA9 official release (April 2024). In this case it could be a regression issue due to a further update. It also looks like old series of bugs impacting MGA8 and samba share : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30788 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2068976 https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30984 ... but in MGA8 it didn't work at all (ie. even with IP Address too).
