[XFCE] Thunar : Browse samba like windows explorer

Hello,

i would like to browse into samba shares as Windows explorer do, but in Thunar.

At the moment, i installed gvfs and gvfs-smb. I can clic on "Browse Network" in thunar that show me all workgroups.
However, when i try to access to a network using left clic, i got this error : Obtaining shares list from the server failed : Connection refused .*

If i try by this way : smb://user@WORKGROUP i got the same error.

If i type smb://ip/ i can see the shares. But i still got the error when i enter username and passwd.

It works from windows client. Also, i can mount a share and browse it only as root by using this way : sudo mount -t cifs "//WORKGROUP/partage" /mnt/test -o user=user,password=***,ip=ip

After disabling iptables : systemctl stop iptable, if i go by type smb://ip/ and then left clic on the share the error message changed :
Unable to mount the Windows share : No such file or type file.*

*Errors messages translated by myself from french

Thank you !

EDIT :
I can browse with my own user (not as root) by using this command (with uid)

sudo mount -t cifs "//WORKGROUP/partage" /mnt/test -o user=user,password=***,ip=ip,uid=myusername

I should get something useful by doing all by myself but i really want to use that gvfs !
