Can't access shares that I have permissions for

 Is FTP an option perhaps? A simple ftp to the ip address says Connection refused.

Yes, it is an option.  Can you let us know what NAS firmware you are running?  It should be either 4.1.x or 5.3.x.

Well, you are setting up restricted folders, so you need to ensure that the PC is using the correct credentials when accessing the NAS.  These credentials are the accounts (user+password) you have set up on the NAS.

If you don't specify credentials, then Windows will first look in its credential manager - if the nasname is saved there, then it will use the associated credential.  If it isn't saved there, then Windows will present the PC login credentials to the duo.  If that user/password fails, access is rejected - even if the share has guest access enabled.

Windows also only allows one credential at a time.  So if you access \\nasname\admin using admin credentials, you can't  simultaneously access \\nasname\sharename using some other credentials.  There is a trick though - if you access \\nasipaddress\admin using admin credentials, you can access \\nasname\sharename using other credentials - Windows treats the IP address as a different machine.

This can get complicated, so perhaps you might want to tell us what you want to accomplish (e.g., what users you have, and how you want to restrict there access).
