Nothing wrong with the NAS, as I can connect to it via other OS.

has happened - again. Seems I am unable to access the NAS from Fedora.
File services turned on on the NAS:

Can you access it from any other OS namely Windows or Mac?

Windows - Yes. No issues.
Ubuntu - Yes.
Linux Mint - Yes

Stick to the same protocol used in those cases.

Doesn't seem to matter......

Don't think it's Fedora... I'm using Fedora WS 28 with Cinnamon (current patches) and can connect to an SMB share just fine using smb://servername/

Will try that... was connectiong via FILE MANAGER, not that it should be any different. FM on Linux Mint and Ubuntu work fine....

Its possible your firewall is not allowing you to browse.

Yes, but stick to it for troubleshooting, don't try other protocols.

this works - but that is a bit different than the process I was trying to do.

sudo mkdir /mnt/location

sudo mount -v -t cifs //servername/sharename /mnt/point/ -o username=username,password=password

sudo mkdir /mnt/location

What was it different ? looks normal to me.

do you have this installed:

dnf info gvfs-smb

yes - that is normal if you are using cli. But if you are using FILEMANAGER - Network - it won't connect.

That way is 100% worthless.

Go up in the address bar and type smb://server/share

Thanks - I'll give that a go in the future.
