Starting a fresh thread is fine - but you need to provide more information.

The post reads like you are trying to access a drive connected to a router.  If that is correct, then you may need to review the router's resource sharing documentation/setup before looking at the client.

Thanks everyone for giving me pointers.  If nothing else I learned a lot about samba today.

Hello and sorry for the bump on this old topic, but I am having major issues with my USB-drive connected to my router.
I can't seem to edit the smb.conf file. I don't have the permissions  :(

Great work @Phobos84 for sticking at it :)

The systems each need to know the other system exists, and where to find it to connect to it, the route to it.
See this preparing the installing, it explains - https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_an_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller#Preparing_the_Installation

About using the LL Manual as @firenice03 wrote, you had said you are reusing the conf file from a previous install. 
Have you tried the manual from the start on this new computer, without using the conf from the previous machine ?
The link in this post also shows how to clean the environment to do a new install.
