Did that, what now? I/t has  had no immediately apparent effect ... But maybe 
an additional action is required?
First a few observations.

You indicated you're using your ISP DNS.  This means the names of your systems 
aren't available via normal
DNS queries since I doubt you keep your ISP updated on names.  So, the fact that doing a 
"ping smb" and
your mention of smb.local is indicating to me that mdns or bonjour is at work 
when it comes to the
GUI of Thunar.  I can't replicate the problem so making it more difficult to 
prove what I think and find a fix.

As I said, this isn't a "permissions" issue since you're not getting any "Permission 
denied" indications.  And, you're
able to access the share just fine from the command line.

Does "/dns myhostname" find something like bobg, I kept thinking that was what 
I should put there, but having been admonished to follow instructions I resisted the urge 
top do so.
No, that has to do with how localhost is resolved.  
Seehttps://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/nss-myhostname.html.


OK, now to try something completely different.  Again, a bit of explanation.

When I had my mount point defined as /media/smb an file icon with the label 
"smb" shows in Thunar.
But, when I change mount point to /mnt that doesn't happen and I need to first go to 
"File System" and then to
mnt to access the share.

So, could you unmount /media/smb and then change your fstab to be /mnt and then 
mount /mnt
to see if things are better?
.

sudo systemctl --now disable avahi-daemon.service
sudo systemctl --now disable avahi-daemon.socket

Do I need to undo/re-enable that stuff?

I hope I understand correctly, fstab is now:
//192.168.50.149/bobg    /mnt/smb    cifs uid=bobg,gid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred   0 0
after creating /mnt/smb

It looked like it was working as before using mnt instead of media but the network browser only displayed the "SMB" with no list of files, same problem.


then I thought I'd better try rebooting this computer,
ws1. Now after the restart/reboot the network browser displays nothing, not even the Mac portable which I believe is still running.

I'm stuck at this point, dunno what to look for next,
