Thanks Ralf,
I’ve spent many hours today working on this. I found this site with links to VHD files that can be opened in Virtualbox. Out of desperation I downloaded FreeDOS1.2net.vhd.zip https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/?page_id=437#comment-6783 Well I haven’t discovered what this image is doing that my own image isn’t but somehow the NET VIEW command does now work… well except it doesn’t really… it shows a list of servers in the workgroup that is called: WORKGROUP. I am sharing out a directory in my Win 10 Pro host with access permissions to EVERYONE but when I try to connect to that from freedos like this: # net use g: \\servername\sharename <file:///\\servername\sharename> I get this error message: Error 53: The Computer name specified in the network path cannot be located. Despite the fact that “servername” appears when I run # net view ??? Earlier I made changes to Win 10 local policy settings as well as enabling SMBv1 and now other Samba shares I have in Win File Explorer Network section are not opening… maybe the config files of those samba servers need to be configured to allow SMBv1 now or something. If you get it working can you please let us know?? Thank you.

Also in Win 10 Function Discovery Provider Host and Resource Publication are both enabled and running. That simply might not work. I have similar problems were for a while still, I have to support a Windows 2003 server in an environment where all user workstations are on Windows 10 Pro. It is kind of random if those clients are able to access a SMB 1. share on that Windows 2003 server or not. I have spend literally days trying to come up with working solution, NOTHING that I have found in regards to enable SMB 1.x on Windows 10 or newer (Windows 11, Server 2016/2019,...) is working reliably...
