Home folders share not working with windows 10

I have a ReadyNAS 314 and my computers are running windows 10. When I upgraded the firmware to 6.8.0 I got a message that the share name had illegal characters. I had set it up with a "_" in the name. I changed it to a "-" and everything seems good. When I access the drive from my computers it asks for my credintals as before, when I provide them all of the shared folders are accesable but the home folder just keeps asking for a login. I have tried mapping the readynas in the host file on my computer but that didnt help. I am at a loss...

Are you entering the username/password of your local readynas account, or are you entering different credentials?

 

Note windows only lets you use one credential for the NAS.  Though there is a trick here - you can use the hostname with one credential, and the NAS ip address with a different one.
