I'm thinking you are not that comfortable with ssh, so I'd suggest not doing it that way.
Putting \\nasname\c into the windows explorer bar will work, but you may have to set up the Windows credentials manager to use the NAS admin account when connecting to the NAS.
As Etz says, Windows explorer, not internet explorer. And you need to get the slashes correct (\\ not //). Otherwise it just launches the browser.
If that doesn't work for some reason, you can often trick windows by using \\NASIP\c. Windows normally only allows one credential set per remote machine. But it treats the IP address and the nasname as two different machines.
