ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus - can't backup - can't connect to Windows share

Hi everyone. Apologies if this is the wrong spot to post, please feel free to redirect me...

 

I'm unable to use the Backup functionality on my ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus because it cannot connect to shares on two different Windows 10 machines on my home network. I've disabled password requirements, though it also couldn't connect even when using a Windows local account I created specifically for the NAS to use. IP address or PC name, neither one works. Test Connection says cannot connect. When I run the job anyway, it fails and says cannot connect. The shares have "Everyone" set with Full Control permissions. Is there any kind of checklist or other things I can check? I'm sure it's something stupid. Screenshot attached - this was testing against my PC called "Kustom" trying both its name and its IP address. Thanks in advance!

This is a duplicate, so I am locking this one.
