[Samba] unable to map to share

[McGranahan, Jamen]

I get STATUS_LOGIN_FAILURE on the client. I completely opened up the
firewall on the Samba server to my machine on ports 445 & 139 and yet
I'm still not able to connect to the share, nor does it authenticate
correctly. So, the client is not connecting, which in reality, we
already knew. It's something on the server, but we're just not sure what
else to check. Any ideas?

System error 53 usually is a problem with name resolution.
Can you verify that your client actually connected to the server? Can
you provide a network trace of the connection attempt? Information on
how to create useful network traces can be found under
