smbclient and cifs-utils are using very different approaches, so if it
fails for both, it's very probably a bug somewhere else.

Ok, so it's not  problem at the Windows side.

I guess next is looking bottom up a.k.a. can you ping the Windows server
from the host failing to access the share? Is the traffic not filtered
in between? If those are not the problem a network capture via wireshark
might be useful to debug it further.
