   None shouldn't be needed to mount remote samba shares and some DE may   
   even have share functionality built in so that you can share content   
   from your home directory...

   I guess a missing samba configuration or a value not allowed in the   
   configuration.   
   This only affect the samba shares that you try to share from your   
   computer with help of samba service.   
      
   If you want to know more about your service issues, I suggest try:   
      
   journalctl -u samba   
      
   or something quite similar to that.
