Permission issue

I have the permissions still set to anonymous on mthe default shares but I cannot access any of them from one of my two computers (both  which is the computer I set the ReadyNAS with. I only have SMB and DNLA enabled as well but when I try to access the folder throught the path I saved to the pictures share (\\NAS_NAME\Music) or even trying to go to the root  of the ReadyNAS (\\NAS_NAME) I get prompted for a user name and password but on my other PC I can open the root fine and access all the default shares.I do not have any hosts entered in fact I have not changed any of the permissions under SMB. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas? This is the 526x with firmware 6.10.6

    Do you also have "everyone" read/write access set on the file access tab of the share web ui?

    Have you looked in the Windows Credential manager on the PC that works, and see if there is a credential stored there for tne NAS?

      Yes I did have everyone set with read/write on the file access as well. I am not sure what has chnaged though this morning everything seems to be working and I have made no changes to the system other than a reboot of the computer that did not work.
