Configuring a backup job for a windows PC. ReadyNAS Duo

I'm trying to configure a backup job in Frontview backup my ReadyNAS to a USB drive on my PC. (Connecting the drive to the NAS to not work well for some reason.) I've entered my machine name in the host and the share name in the path. However, when I test the connection, it fails. I made surethat file sharing on the PC was enabled. What am I missing?

Model: ReadyNAS RND2150|ReadyNAS Duo

I figured it out. I needed to input login credentials. I don't login when my PC starts, so I didn't think it was necessary. I also had to remember what they were. 😛
