    Mapping Network drive or folder. Mac host and Windows client


    [COLOR=rgba36, 39, 41, 1]Have set up a SMB shared folder on a Mac over a LAN. So my Mac is the host[/COLOR]

    [COLOR=rgba36, 39, 41, 1]I want to simply enable this shared folder to always auto mount when I reboot -login on my Windows machine.[/COLOR]

    [COLOR=rgba36, 39, 41, 1]I assume this means using 'Map Network Drive'.[/COLOR]

    [COLOR=rgba36, 39, 41, 1]Should be simple enough however when I browse to a folder from Map Network Drive all I see is Network, not my shared folder. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

    I can connect manually to the Mac if I simply enter \\<name of shared folder> in my Windows search bar.

    Map Windows 7 Shared Folder to Win 95

    Okay .. I figured it all out.

    Configuring Windows 95 so it can map Windows 7 shared folders.

    You need to update Windows 95 so that it can utilitze NTLMv2 network protocols (and use 128 bit encryption for authentification).
    Nothing needs to be done on the Windows 7 machine other than sharing a drive or folder.

    On the Windows 95 Machine you will need a local account with the same name and password as on the Win7 machine or in the domain.
    The Windows 95 computer does not have to be a member computer in the domain (ie. does not need domain authentification)

    1) Install the Distributed File System client for Windows 95 (dfs41w95.exe)
    2) Install WinSock 2.0 (w95ws2setup.exe)
    3) Install Microsoft Dial-Up Network 1.3 (MSDUN13.exe)
    (I wasn't sure what msdun13 does to the TCP/IP stack so I reinstalled winsock2.0 again)
    4) Install Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 / 32 bit (ie40sp2.exe ... you need this or step #6 will termintate without installing)
    5) Install Microsoft Installer 2.0 (InstMsiA.exe .. you need this so Windows 95 knows what to do with the .msi file in the next step)
    6) Install Distributed Services Client for Windows 9x (dsclient9x.msi)
    7) Go into the registry editor (regedit) and go to ...
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control
    Create a Key named Lsa
    Create a DWORD in Lsa named LMCompatilbility with a hex value of "3".
    8) Reboot once more.

    Mapping a network drive on a Windows 7 machine should now work.

    Mapped Drives Issues

    To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.
