0x80070035 the network path was not found

(2013-06-03)

Problem

Trying to browse to a samba server by name from a Windows system yields the error 0x80070035: "the network path was not found"

Probably, trying to connect to the same server by IP works.

Solution

The windows client is not using a standard NetBIOS port, probably for security reasons. In the smb.conf file, comment out the smb ports line.
