Hi, Thanks for your help. But it doesn't seem to be an authentication failure. I tried all sec option. Some clearly failed early (in the wireshark trace) due to authentification problem. Its seems to be able to authenticate with ntlmv2. But fails latter in the exchange. https://pastebin.com/zkRHtTvq Frame 25 Create Response, Error: STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED Any idea? Thanks again.

Allowed values are: · none - attempt to connection as a null user (no name) · krb5 - Use Kerberos version 5 authentication · krb5i - Use Kerberos authentication and forcibly enable packet signing · ntlm - Use NTLM password hashing · ntlmi - Use NTLM password hashing and force packet signing · ntlmv2 - Use NTLMv2 password hashing · ntlmv2i - Use NTLMv2 password hashing and force packet signing · ntlmssp - Use NTLMv2 password hashing encapsulated in Raw NTLMSSP message · ntlmsspi - Use NTLMv2 password hashing encapsulated in Raw NTLMSSP message, and force packet signing The default in mainline kernel versions prior to v3.8 was sec=ntlm. In v3.8, the default was changed to sec=ntlmssp.
