I'm trying to connect to a data share via the VPN of my university. I have contacted support and set the following:
In my /et/fstab:
//serverlocatoin/share /mnt/Ldrive cifs credentials=/home/laurens/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
And double checked the smbcredentials file.
When running sudo mount -a the following error is returned:
My university IT guy simply told me to just revert to using a windows machine.
What I've tried
- Read the wiki
- Read this post, tried switching off ipv6, did not help
- ping the server, returned 'unknown host'
- Checked if VPN connection is active via
ifconfig -aThe VPN seems to be active.
- Tried to approach via chrome browser, returns a 'your file was not found' error, suggesting that the server returns something, right?
- Changing the SMB protocol as in the below answer. Rebooted, still error 115.
Other post that had the same question but did not have an answer:
post1
What could be the problem and/or how could I troubleshoot it?

Perhaps the windows server are no longer accepting smbv1.
Try adding
client min protocol = SMB2
client max protocol = SMB3
in the global section of smb.conf. Then restart smbd
Your chrome browser test will not work. By typing file:///something you are trying to access a file on you local file system, not a web server. Apparently you don't have a file named like your server on your computer.
Using ping you should omit // in front of names/ip-addresses
Try ping serveraddress

Thank you. I tried adding the lines to the smb.conf. Error 115 remains. The pinging without the '//' did yield a return, confirming that I can contact the server.

What is the output of: 'mount -t cifs //<serverlocation>/share /mnt/Ldrive -o username=<yourusername>'? (Replace <serverlocation> with the correct address and <yourusername> with your actual username on the windows machine. Did this command ask for a password? Does a folder named /mnt/Ldrive exist on your local computer?
