           Summary: Cannot connect and create link to SMB share in either

SUMMARY

I am trying to connect to a remote SMB share on one of our institution's
server.

The host I'm trying to connect to expects as username my full institutional
e-mail address (including the '@' character). My credentials are stored locally
in the "Windows Shares" module of systemsettings5. 

I can connect to the remote share using smbclient passing the user name (-U
option), but I would like to be able to browse to it via the GUI.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In knetattach - selected Microsoft windows network drive 
2. In network folder information dialog I enter:
 - a custom name for the share (e.g "RDS")
 - server (e.g., abc.de.ac.uk)
 - folder (e.g., rds)

Create an icon for this remote server is selected

3. press "Save & Connect"

OBSERVED RESULT
In knetattach, after entering the name of the server and the folder, I get the
error message dialog:

"Unable to connect to server.  Please check your settings and try again." and
in the notification area on my KDE panel I get either:

"Examining failed: smb://@/xyz" where xyz is the first part of my server's name

or:

"Examining failed: Unknown error condition in stat: Software caused connection
abort"

Entering the smb address directly as (smb://abc.def.ac.uk/rds) in Dolphin also
fails (keeps showing dialog for credentials).


EXPECTED RESULT
A link in the network:/ Place in Dolphin, pointing to the remote smb share.

SOFTWARE VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
