Q: Samba stopped working
Today I tried connecting to my samba share that I have setup on another computer running Linux. I can't seem to get OS X to connect though. It keeps giving me the "Check server name or IP address error." I have the share setup for guest access, and other devices such as my iPhone can connect. I can even print from my MacBook to the samba shared printer, but I cannot connect to the shares. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

I'm sure that it's related with the latest security Patch from Samba on 12 April https://www.samba.org/samba/latest_news.html#4.4.2
I've a Raspberrypi running Samba 4.4.2 and all shares stop working on OSX (Yosemite / El Capitan). Windows or Linux are running fine. Finally I could make a downgrade of samba stuff and everything is working again.
I guess that the samba client on OSX has some kind of incompatibility with the april security update on samba server.
