After restoring from a backup, Ubuntu 20.04 will not connect to my Ethernet router connected LG NAS. I had this problem when I first switched to Linux and solved it but I can't remember how. I thought I might have saved a file on what I did but apparently not. I looked at the suggested solutions on this site and did some web searches but nothing has worked. I tried adding the suggested strings to the smb.conf and hosts file but that didn't work. I do remember having to do something with smb.conf before but I don't remember what or whether that was to access my NAS, but I think it was. I'm seeing the message "Failed to retrieve share list from server. Software caused connection abort." How can I make it work? Thanks.

I found the answer. I had posted and received a reply on another site and found it in my bookmarks. The answer is to override the default setting of the samba client and force it to use SMB1. I am now able to access the folders and files on my (apparently older) NAS.Just below the workgroup line I added
client min protocol = NT1
