you'll do that through nemo like:

smb://192.168.1.1/

for example

The Linux equivalent of Run ( WinKey + R ) is: Alt + F2

When you issue a \\192.168.0.100 in Run Windows automatically assumes you are trying to access a SMB server at that address with Explorer since it's the only thing it can do by default.

In Linux you have to tell it what you are connecting to ( smb ) and with what ( nemo ). So:

Alt + F2
nemo smb://192.168.0.100

Now I don't understand.

The could not display part of that error could be that you are missing a package so install it:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install gvfs-backends
The smb:///%5c part of that error is anyone's guess.
