I misread your last indication, I tried the two things you told me separately and, in that way, it did not work.
I tried again and now I can log in. I do not like excessively having "everyone" on file permissions, but that works.
Thanks

I have tryed as you suggest, but I have the same error.
When I execute "net use * /delete" I don't delete any connection and I don't have any error.
When I execute "net use t: \\nas-ip-address\sharename /user:username userpassword" the operation was succesful. If I try to open t: with windows explorer or change the letter unit in the command prompt, I obtain the "folder access error".
I don't understand why if I change the Group at username (from users to Admins), windows can access to shared folder. When I restore the original group, I cannot access to shared folder.

Can you post screenshots of share settings - both the network access and file access tabs?

Try setting File Access to Read/Write for everyone.
Also, try setting the group that the user is in to "read-only" in the network access tab. If that is "users" try creating a new group, and move him into it.

Only inserting my user into admin group, I can access the shared folder.
In all other configuration I offen have the same access denied error.
I don't know what I can try anymore.
Thanks
