Ok.
Assuming you want to back up the entire share, the name of the share goes into the "path" field - no slashes of any kind. That would be Shared I guess (based on your original post).
Per the help, the host name field itself should be either //GABRIEL or //192.168.0.2 Though it seems plausible that 192.168.0.2 with no slashes would also work.
I believe that your problem is on the Windows side - that Windows is denying access to the DUO (at least when you were using the above names).
Here are some alternative things to try:
-checking the "workgroup" name on the DUO under global settings. This should match the workgroup name used in your windows system.
-putting your windows login information into the login and password fields
-creating a guest account on the PC, and using the guest account credentials in the DUO login/password fields. (If you do this, you need to check the share and file permissions to ensure that the guest account has access).
