System error 58 has occurred. The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
This was done via net use \\<ip>\share. Mounting the share via Windows Explorer yields nothing, just a long wait for nothing.
The fix for my case was to change Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) to disabled. You have to reboot the machine for the changes to take effect.

That worked like a charm :) Had the issue with Windows 7 clients connecting to an old Samba v3.5.2 running on an QNAP network storage. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your post. A couple of years later, still helping folks out. In my case, the same error 58 message appears when connecting from a Win 2012 server (as well as my Win 7 domain member workstation) back to an old Win XP box that is not on the domain. I don't know if I will be able to get admins to change that setting on the server, but at least I know what a path forward is.
dear lord, worked like a charm,
thank you
