I guess I'm even more confused than ever. The only significance between
my and your IBMLAN.INI makes me wonder why yours works. You have
wrkservices = ,MESSENGER, but not PEER.

I tried a smb.conf based upon yours, but that didn't help:

        NET2758: The system cannot connect to the server.
        For more information, type HELP NET2758.

NET2758 is a USERID/PASSWORD mismatch.

I wasn't really interested in using OS/2 as client to a Linux samba
server, unless I cannot figure out why NFS for that purpose is not
working. It seems like there must be some other configuration files to
consider?

Here are diffs from mine to yours anyway:
