<title>Problems Browsing the Network Neighborhood with &Samba; 4.7 and above</title>
<para>Since version 2.9.71, &smb4k; is using the <application>libsmbclient</application> library to browse and search the network neighborhood and print files. With the &Samba; 4.7 release, the default protocol version has been set to SMB3 by the &Samba; team. Unfortunately, the <application>libsmbclient</application> library cannot handle it correctly and browsing the network neighborhood will fail. For this reason, users of Samba 4.7 and above need to add the following setting to the [global] section of the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file to force &Samba; to use SMB1 (NT1) and, thus, fix the browsing of the network neighborhood:</para>
