samba - Sep 2024 - parse_dfs_path_strict: can't parse hostname from path \10.0.1.107

Running samba version 4.21.0 on arch linux

Within last several days I?m getting this error when trying to connect via MacOs
from Finder with server just specified as smb://10.0.1.107.

I haven?t changed my configuration at all in a long while although its possible
the samba version was updated.

From trying to connect from macOS i?m getting the following error on the linux
server:

parse_dfs_path_strict: can't parse hostname from path \10.0.1.107

There isn?t much on this error with google except a stack exchange article which
I tried the solution but it didn?t make any difference:
https://superuser.com/questions/1793996/samba-can-not-parse-path-when-connect-time-machine?
Samba can not parse path when connect Time machine

Any help would be appreciated.

Try it as it should be: smb://10.0.1.107/sharename

If I try to connect to a computer using smbclient, it helpfully prints
this:

\\computer_name: Not enough '\' characters in service
