thank you everyone. Eventually I had time to sit down and look at this issue.
It was easier than ever. At first mdns-scan was not picking anything up of course. Then I saw in gnome that it was trying to connect to network (wired) but failed. It was easy as creating a new wired network profile. From the top-right, click on the batteries. Or under "wired settings". Then add a new network profile Identity: Lacie Network MTU: automatic IPv4: Link-local only IPv6: Link-local only As soon as connected to such network the mdns-scan managed to pick the drive address, nautilus automatically showed the drive on which I was able to simply click and put in the driver's user/pass to connect to the share. A minor thing, non blocking is that it mount the driver under a quite deep place that I'd like to change to something more meaningful. For example in this round of mounting is: /run/user/1001/gvfs/smb-share:port=139,server=networkspacemax.local,share=myshare/. Anyone with hints on this already would be appreciated. Otherwise I will give some research and in case I'll manage in my backup scripts.
