Hi Andy_Larkins,
It seems like that's our best hope of resolving this problem. Clearly, not a problem with your ReadyNAS.
Keep this thread updated on what happens.
Kind regards,

Hi Andy_Larkins,
Thanks for the fast response. Are you running domain in your network? If not, check the security mode running on your ReadyNAS and make sure it is set to "User-mode". Once this is done, manually set the permissions of your shares by following this article.
Let me know if you have other questions.
Kind regards,

I am not using a domain.
Following instructions, I set a user up called larks
I then used those credentials setting a mapped drive up. The error I now get is:
The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and passwod, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.
I dont see any other mappings listed

Hi Andy_Larkins,
Set the same permission settings on the share/s as seen on these screenshots.

ok, now Windows is prompting me to select a certificate. There are 3 shown. No matter which I choose, I am prompted for a user name and pw. The next error is "this account is not authorized to login from this station
For what it's worth, from my samsung note 5 cell phone on wifi, I can see the share and play music of videos so Im starting to wonder if the issue is my Windows 10 network settings are jacked up

Hi Andy_Larkins,
In PC, you need to use Windows Explorer to access your files. If the permission is set to read/write with anonymous /or guest access, it shouldn't ask for a username and password. Perhaps test it with another PC or execute this command in CMD and see if it helps.
net use * /delete
