Have you tried the NAS admin credentials?
Also, have you tried using both the IP address and the hostname in the explorer address bar (\\hostname or \\ipaddress).
Tried both of those. Also deleted and recreated accounts, tried other account credentials for other shares (each share is for a different user), made sure SMB-1 is turned on in Windows, rebooted both HAS and computer multiple times. Plus, accounts that worked previously are no longer working since 2020-01 Windows update. They worked in mid December.
Yes. And I can see the device and all the shares in Windows Explorer, but I can't open any of the folders. So I'm thinking that the credentials are working at the network level, but not the folder level.
It may be unrelated to the Windows update and the folder permissions just need to be reset.
I tried that, too. If it's not related to the update, why would the existing connections have stopped working? I am however, open to any suggestions as to something else that I could do to try to fix the problem.
