I know this is a very basic question, and I apologize in advance, but I'm having trouble accessing folders shared via Windows, on what I understood to be the SAMBA protocol.
I have at least two servers running on my local network : one windows PC and my router.
However I am unable to connect to any of them (router here):
$ smbclient //192.168.0.254/Freebox
protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED
findsmb only returns my local computer (but I've read that it might be normal behavior?).
nmap tells me that the server is running: 139/tcp open netbios-ssn.
One possibly important detail is that the router is running a deprecated samba version v1.0.
Therefore my question is:
- is there any way to scan the network and discover the samba servers?
- why can I not connect ?
- more generally, what are the tools that I can use to debug what is happening?

Found it! As I suspected, it was due to samba v1.0 being used, which was deprecated.
Solution was to add --option='client min protocol=NT1':
smbclient //192.168.0.254/My\ Book -A ~/.boxcredentials --option='client min protocol=NT1'
as explained here: .
