Search the option as "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" make double click to open it. Click on the dropdown menu and choose "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated". Now Apply the configured settings.

-Enable network discovery
-Turn on file and print sharing
-Turn off password protected sharing
-Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers

Another settings like encryption that I have set as use 128 bit encryption.
