PROBLEM:
Access to the shares work when the network is "Public Network" or "Private Network" but not when it is "Domain Network".
QUESTION:
What different things change with the Network Location type, aside from firewall settings?
BACKGROUND:
I have some strange proprietary machines that connect using SMBv1 using very old protocols. I have shares set up for them in a Windows 2008 R2 and it was working just fine. I had to change some security options to allow LM & NTLM authentication. When I first got it working the network was erroneously identified as "Public Network". At some point, a Windows update fixed this and now it is correctly identified as "Domain Network". The machines can no longer connect. I got it to work again by changing the Network Location to "Public" but it breaks on each reboot. I really need to know why the shares change with the network location but I can't seem to find any information about that.
NOTE:
I have tried turning the firewall off. All of the "Advanced Sharing Settings" are identical for all 3 network profiles. What else changes?
