When trying to connect to a Windows 8 share on QNX (4 or 6) the connection fails. Why?
This is due to the version of the SMB (Samba) protocol. Windows 7 introduced version 2.1 and Windows 8 introduced version 3.0 which is not supported at this time. What you can do however is configure the SMB server to run in the older version 1 mode and disable versions 2 and 3.
