--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <pointedstick at zoho.com> ---
So this seems to work in Dolphin right now when the share is on a Linux PC, but
fails when the share is on a Windows PC.

As Lai Chiaheng has observed, Windows Samba seems to require the password to be
specified in the URL. From my time in Mac land, I seem to remember Finder
saying, "Are you sure you want to enable Windows Samba sharing? That requires
storing Samba passwords in an insecure way!" So maybe this is just a poor Samba
implementation in Windows that we need to handle.
