The native Windows network file sharing protocol is the preferred protocol for Windows clients. AFP AFP is clearly superior to SMB or NFS for Mac OS 8.1-OS X 10.8 clients AFP is the native file and printer sharing protocol for Macs and it supports many unique Mac attributes that are not supported by other protocols. On the Windows PC, change HKEYLOCALMACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Lsa LmCompatibilityLevel to 4. Network security: LAN Manager authentication level is usually set to 'Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated' by Group policies for backup compatibility with older clients.
