I can confirm this problem as I encounter the same behavior under my
Fedora 25 box when I click on the SMB icon in Gnome Commander.

But: I don't have Samba installed locally and I don't have another
workstation with Samba running. This might be the cause of the error
message I see. I tried to install Samba with the help given here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Administration_Guide_Draft/Samba

I could manage to see my locally shared directory via
"smbclient -L 127.0.0.1", but I can neither open it in Gcmd NOR in
Thunar (under XFCE, typing "smb://localhost" in the address bar).

Thomas, if you could tell me how to setup Samba locally we might find
out there the problem with Gnome Commander hides.

Best
Uwe

This is a hint that no connection to samba could be established.
