      What is the trick?
      I am having no luck making the connection to a Windows File share.

        What are the settings from the server and what settings are you putting in here? I have no Windows box, so nothing to test against.

          Interesting, I just tried this on a file share I created in Windows 10, it works.

          The other file share that F26 will not connect to was created using Nano Server as the o/s.

            I guess it's time to build a "real" file server...F25 or F26 to the rescue!

              Looks that way. If you are mounting to Linux, use NFS instead.

                Would you recommend using nfs v3 or v4 or use both when setting up a nfs server?

                  I usually stick with 3 unless I need a specific feature from 4.

                    Try this:

                    mount -t cifs -o username=administrator,password=urPassword,domain=domain.local //fileserver/share /mountLocation

                          Makes me think that your Linux box is trying to connect via an unsupported method.

                          For example, do you have SMB 1.0 turned off on your Windows file server... and your Linux box is trying to connect via SMB 1.0?

                            You could also create an NFS share on your Windows file server to the same data.

                              I am able to connect with this:
                              smbclient //nanonas/iso -U administrator -m SMB3

                                I tried calling out "SMB3.0", but, I get the error "For more deatils see mount (8)"
