Curiouser and curiouser, I just checked and the workgroup of my home PC is different to the workgroup that is set on the ReadyNAS, yet it can access it without issue.
I tried the obvious tests:
1. I can ping the ReadyNAS from the laptop.
2. I can access the web interface of the ReadyNAS from the laptop, so networking between the two devices is all find and dandy.
3. I can access a share on the ReadyNAS from the home PC with no problems.
4. I cannot access that self-same share using the same command from the laptop.
