Windows 8 share backup

I have a Readynas Duo with a backup working to a windows 7 share and am trying to move it to a windows 8 share. Getting a connection error when testing, share settings are the same as the windows 7 pc. Any tips?

Check the workgroup of the windows 8 PC, should be the same as the NAS and windows 7 PC.
Are the login details the same for all 3 devices?
Are permissions correct on the W8 share?

workgroup is the same. Login is the same for w7 and w8 pc but is different for the readynas. I set the share permissions as everyone/full on the w8 pc which is the same as the w7 pc. Thanks.

Gave up on the w8 share issue. Installed Hanewin NFS server on the w8 pc and configured the backup to connect to the NFS share.
