[Problem with mount.cifs version 6.3 in Centos 6.5]

[Arturo Puente]

I have a CentOS Release 6.5 (Final) (2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64) machine.
I downloaded cifs-utils-6.3.tar.bz2, and did

1 - #tar -xjvf cifs-utils-6.3.tar.bz2
2 - #cd cifs-utils-6.3
3 - #./configure --prefix=/usr
4 - #make
5 - #make install
6 - # mount.cifs -V
mount.cifs version: 6.3

After that, I am trying to mount an AZURE Share with

mount.cifs //storage /home/data/ -o
vers=2.1,credentials=credentials-file,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
with //storage here instead of the true share storage name and
credentials-file instead of the true location of the credentials
file,

And I got the following message

mount error(112): Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

In this machine
#cat /boot/config-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64 | grep CIFS

CONFIG_CIFS=m
CONFIG_CIFS_STATS=y
# CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 is not set
CONFIG_CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH=y
CONFIG_CIFS_UPCALL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX=y
# CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG2 is not set
CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_ACL=y
# CONFIG_CIFS_FSCACHE is not set


Using a machine with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (3.13.0-29-generic) that has
preloaded cifs
# mount.cifs -V
mount.cifs version: 6.0

Using the same command to mount the share, I didn't get the error message
and the share is mounted without any trouble.

In this machine
# cat /boot/config-3.13.0-29-generic | grep CIFS

CONFIG_CIFS=m
CONFIG_CIFS_STATS=y
# CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 is not set
CONFIG_CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH=y
CONFIG_CIFS_UPCALL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX=y
# CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG2 is not set
CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_ACL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_FSCACHE=y
CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2=y

Both machines are inside the same pool of virtual machines for my
account inside Azure

Does anyone knows why I am getting the message

mount error(112): Host is down

In the machine with CentOS 6.5.?

Thank you in advance for your Help with this matter.
