--- Comment #6 from Harald Sitter <sitter at kde.org> ---
Please also enable smbclient debugging and get another log
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/Debugging_IOSlaves/Debugging_kio_smb#Logging_with_libsmbclient_debug_output

The internal error codes do rather point at netbios broadcasts as a whole not
working. Which is weird as I think only the client could prevent that from
working and you have no settings to that extent (i.e. only `disable
netbios=yes` does that AFAIK). Whatever is wrong is way deeper than dolphin
though, so Patrick is probably onto something when he suspects a bug in samba.

There's also a problem on our end here. Modern discovery a la DNSSD and WSD is
conditional on libsmbclient being able to deploy the netbios broadcast. When
that fails all discovery is aborted, but in fact one could feasibly want to
disable netbios and rely solely on DNSSD. That's not quite right either, albeit
unrelated to your specific problem.
