I cannot access Window machines via samba service in Ubuntu 16.04. I uninstalled and reinstalled samba service like this:
sudo apt-get remove samba*
sudo apt-get purge samba*
After this operation I performed:
sudo apt install samba samba-common
I restarted the machine and then, when I tried to connect:
smb://192.168.... etc the Connect button is inactive and underneath the connection window I have a message that reads "This file server type is not recognized". What went wrong? Thank you.

It looks like you need to install the package gvfs-backends
Run this command:

You do not need Samba. Samba is the server protocol for SMB and serves data in the other direction; with it, Windows can mount shares offered by your Ubuntu 16.04.
You need either smb-client or cifs-utils/cifs-tools. This page details CIFS utils for Ubuntu 16.04 to mount Windows shares.

Thank you. It worked with the other solution as well. But now I will install the packages just in case. I remember having them installed previously. I am still a beginner in Linux.
