How about just \\ followed by the NAS IP? Have you also tried disabling and re-enabling SMB in the admin page of the NAS? And on another computer?

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.

Hello seamusvibe,
Can't open the link. Have you checked the SMB under admin page > Settings?
Can you access the file from the admin page?

I'm not sure what I tried that fixed it. Maybe after disabling then reenabling SMB it took a while for it to work. It didn't work right after it was enabled.
Everything seems to be working fine now.
Thanks for everyones help
