Does the PC still have the network set to "home", "private" or "work"?

trying \\192.168.1.23 is one of the error image I linked above.
I just tried disabling SMB and reenabling it. Same thing.
Here is a few images. One where SMB is disabled, One where I added it back and you can see the ready nas listed under network locations, and another where it says network path not found when I click on it.
I get the same error on my laptop. I see it listed under network locations, but I get network path not found when I click on it.
