Windows 10: Unable To Map Network Drive From Windows 10 machine to Windows 11 Shared Folder

I have a Surface laptop running Windows 10. I'm trying to map a drive from this machine and connect to my D:\ drive on my Windows 11 machine. I also can't ping the Windows 11 machine. The Windows 11 machine can ping the Win 10. I can access the Win 11 machine via Remote Desktop. I just can't map a drive to it nor ping it.Both machines are on my home wifi network and part of the same Workgroup.

Map Windows 7 Shared Folder to Win 95

I am able to map the folder shared by the Windows 7 machine on my XP Pro machine without problem.
I cannot get the Windows 95 machine to map the folder shared by the Windows 7 machine.
The Windows 95 machine will map a drive shared by an XP machine just fine.

 

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.

 

Windows 11 cannot map a shared windows 10 drive

Hello. Hope someone can help.

I have a windows 11 machine that cannot map a shared drive on a windows 10 machine. Shared drives and folders on other windows 10 and windows 11 machines are mappable. On the problematic windows 10 machine, user has security with full control, and Drive is shared also with full control. The windows 10 machine also has no problem. Mapping drives in folders on other windows 10 and windows. What might be the problem and the solution?
