Thanks for the network traces.

In the traces, both win11 and linux are not using even NTLM but the
even older "share password" authentication mode where you specify a
password for the share in the TreeConnect command.
That is something I think we should not support at all.

What is the exact mount command line you use?
Can you try mounting the share using a username and ntlmssp ?
I.e. username=your-user,sec=ntlmssp  on the mount command
