I spent a number of hours trying to get SMB sharing working on the Shield, and my hope is that this might save someone a lot of pain. It turns out you must have NetBIOS-NS enabled in Network->Global Configuration in order to be able to view shares on that device.

Well, I don't know what to tell you because I enabled debugging information and it claims to be using SMB2. Notice the language up there saying Can be required. That means it's not definitive.

I have zero control over what the Shield uses for SMB.

I tried searching on Shield forums, and the only knobs they have have to do with accessing the Shield, not the client portion. So, while the link you posted above is useful for eradicating SMB1 in Windows environments, I'm kind of SOL when I have no visibility into the S/W stack.
