Must enter username/password to access NAS
Hello, I have 3 PC machines running Windows. With 2 of them I do not need to enter an username/password when accessing the network drive through explorer. On one of the machines, which is comple...

I checked the credentials manager and removed everything that was in there but it did not help.
I did however notice that one folder suddenly appeared.
I have 6 folders that I share and access through Windows Explorer. These folders have names such as "Documents", "Photos", "Videos" and so on..
When I click on the NAS in Windows Explorer I can see ONE of the above folders. When I double click it I can see 2 files that are in that folder but I know there are many more in there.
What's annoying is, Windows Explorer no longer asks for credentials to login. So I'm stuck seeing this one directory only. How do I login if Windows Explorer doesn't ask for credentials?
I have logged into the NAS admin and compared the directories and they all look the same. So why won't the other 5 show up? And why can I only see 2 files?
