Problem in sharing with Windows 11 and Windows7
Respected Sir, I have problem in sharing of data from Windows 11 and Windows 7 with the help of lan cable and windows 7 shows the error to Windows11 that "There is no computer name found".

I am having the same problem, spent MONTHS trying to sort it out. Best I've achieved is for the Win 7 PCs able to access my Win 11 pc but not the other way round. I have download and implemented ALL the advice given by you above and many other people, and still it does work. So what am I doing wrong? I have documented in DETAIL every step I've taken, document available for view if I can find out how.

You just need to make the Windows 11 user account to a local account.
settings - accounts - your info
choose to log in as local user account
you will be prompted to key in new credentials. fill it in restart or log off and log on.
now you can do your file sharing as usual
