Hi, I’m no expert on Samba shares. But from personal experience, your probably not going to have much luck.
I have a Linux server on my home network. When I let it use a minimum of SMB2, all but one ancient Mac will chat with it. No problem. But to get that one Mac working, requires lowering the minimum to NT4. When I do that, all of the Macs (new and old) are happy. The Linux machines are happy. But, the Windows 10 machines get snobbish and no longer talk to it. So, I pretty much need to use a minimum of SMB2. Then relay the old Mac through a newer one. I mention that only to say that I doubt you’ll get it working in DOS with SMB2 and using a lower minimum will just cause problems. But, there is possibly an alternative. If you are not limited to only using Samba and have a Linux server, consider using EtherDFS. It’s lite weight and works pretty good. There are a couple minor hoops to jump through. But once setup, you don’t even notice. Basically, my Linux server has a FAT disk image that gets mounted to a directory. EtherDFS shares that dir for my DOS machines. Also, that dir is shared via Samba to everything else. The only issue I’ve noticed is with long file names. If I store something in that DIR that uses a non-DOS 8.3 filename, the file appears over EtherDFS but is not accessible from DOS. Otherwise, I’ve seen no issues.
