Using LanMan98 2.04 with Windows 7 Pro (64-bit)

Set as WORKGROUP
Set 'Work' network profile.

In the 'Advanced sharing settings' (Home/Work and Public profiles):

• Turn on network discovery.
• Turn on file and printer sharing.
• Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the Public folders.
• Media streaming is off.
• Enable file sharing for devices that use 40 or 56 bit encryption.
• Turn off password protected sharing
• Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers.

The W7PC has a manual IP address set in the TCP/IPv4 setting.
It is set as a 'Work' network.
The W7PC Homegroups are turned OFF (as they are for connecting to other Windows 7 PCs).

The shared folder I have setup - D:\MySharedDocs - on W7PC has permissions setup for 'everyone' to allow 'Full control', 'read' and 'change'.

Set up the Windows shared folder in the following way:
Right click folder to be shared (eg. D:\MySharedDocs)
Share with > Specific people
Choose 'Everyone' from drop down list.
Set to 'Read/Write'.
SHARE

This method of sharing a folder seems to fail:
Right click folder to be shared (eg. D:\MySharedDocs)
Properties > Sharing > Advanced sharing
Tick 'Share this folder' > Permissions > Everyone
Set 'Full control', 'read' and 'change' to be ticked.
