RN-102 User account cannot access shares over SMB.
I have a ReadyNAS 102 that has a share on it called "Files". The permissions of "Files" are set to allow read/write access to everyone in the user group, the admin account, my local user account (on the NAS), and the readycloud user.
But when I try to access the share using my local user account (on the NAS) from Windows Explorer (under Windows 10 pro, Windows 10 home, and Windows 7 home) I am denied access with the correct credentials.
I am able to access the share via FTP using filezilla with the same credentials and permission settings and everything works as expected. The problem is only with SMB.

Is the NAS in the same windows workgroup as the two PCs?
Also, did you try using net use (running cmd)?
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\FILES /user:username password
They are both on the same default workgroup, "WORKGROUP".
I tried net use * /delete and it returned:
"There are no entries in the list".
I tried the second command and got:
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.

That is not a problem, it just means there were no open SMB connections.

The NAS also?

Does this also happen when you use "admin" for the username (and of course the NAS admin password)?
Also, check to see that the system time on the NAS and the PCs are syncd.
What version of windows are you running?
