Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out - Samba/Linux Filesharing Not working Ubuntu Mint Linux Solution
So you're trying to browse to a properly configured Samba share but you get this error:
Unable to mount location
Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out
If your config is right, it can be due to a protocol miss-match where your client has not enabled SMB3 but by default the other side (server) has enabled it.
You can test this out to see with the smbclient tool
smbclient -L YourIP
protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE
If you got the above error it is likely a protocol error that can be fixed and solved like this:
Just edit your smb.conf file on the client side
#add this to globals in /etc/samba/smb.conf
client max protocol = smb3
After that you should be able to view the share successfully.
