Anyone setting up a NAS for the first time might have the same problem that I found myself with. Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks has to be installed on one the network connections. It will be installed to all network connections automatically.
To make sure you have these items installed Open Network and Sharing Center. Select Change Adaptor Settings. Right click Properties on the network connection you are using. On the Networking tab there should be a list of items installed to the network connection.
If Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks are missing from the list, click install and install them. One is in Client and one is in Service I think.
Once the items are installed you should see the NAS. You might need to reboot.
Thank you all for the help.

So...
net use * /delete
There are no entries in the list. (unless the star was supposed to stand for some other letter)
net use t: \\actual.ip.address\data /user=admin password
The option /user=admin is unknown
Okay so I know the italics need to be replaced with the actual data, but I can't tell if there is supposed to be a space before the password but I have tried it both ways and received the same error.
I am getting the Windows 7 CMD syntax wrong but I'm not sure how as I've not much experience with command on windows. Apologies in advance if I'm being dense. Could someone get me through this?

That is ok (and it was supposed to be a *). It's purpose is to remove any connections to the NAS that might use different (conflicting) credentials.

My bad. It should have been /user:admin
The password following is replaced with the actual NAS admin password.
