Windows 10: 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?

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.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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.
