Bug Description
Since upgrading from 19.10 to 20.04 I cannot access folders on my NAS.
What happens:
In Nautilus (1:3.36.2-0ubuntu1) I do the following
1. Go to Other Locations
2. Click on Windows Network
3. Double Click on WORKGROUP
4. Double Click on DYLAN (the NAS at 192.168.1.5)
5. Double Click on public (a folder that does not require a password)
I get the error message 'Unable to access location. Failed to mount windows share: Software caused connection abort'.
What should happen:
Following the above steps the public folder opens and shows the files and folders in it.
My backups using Deja Dup also get this error.

Have created a workaround which works:
1. created directory ~/.smb
2. copied /etc/samba/smb.conf to it
3. added 'client min protocol = NT1' to [global] section.
as suggested in bug #1879776
