You need to change a policy setting in the Domain Controller Group Policy or ask your administrator to do it.
The policy is named: "Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)"
It is found in: Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> Security Options.
You will need to change the setting to "Disable". I recommend that you then "Enable" the next policy named: "Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (if client agrees)" to maintain security.
Always use the 'gpupdate' command in Command Prompt so Group Policy changes are applied immediately.
You should now be able to use the Finder to Connect to a server using a url like: smb://servername or smb://ipaddress
