I think you are lookiing at this problem backwards. If you want to access audio files on your Windows computer from your moOde player you need to do several things.
1) In the Windows file system, share the directory (aka folder) containing the files of interest. Make sure the share permissions are okay. For example, you might allow all users to read the files in the directory. The result is a new Samba (SMB) share.
Let's say your Windows hostname is "Win10" and the name of the directory you share is "Music". Then the network share path is \\Win10\Music (in Windows) and //Win10/Music (in Linux).
2) In the moOde player, go to the Library screen, click on CREATE Music source. In the screen which comes up, define the Windows server. If you haven't done anything special with SMB protocols on your Windows computer, the scan function will return, among other items, the Windows hostname but not the share name. You'll have to enter the path manually. If we continue the example from above, you will enter "Win10/Music".
Get the userid/password right. If in 1) you allowed all users to read the directory, then here you can enter userid "Guest" and leave password blank.
Give this source a friendly name in the Name box, such as "Win10Music".
If you haven't done anything special with SMB protocols on your Windows computer, you'll have to modify the mount flags in the Advanced section at the bottom of the page. Change "vers=1.0" to 'vers=2.0" and keep the rest of the default flags.
Finally, click Save at the top of the page. You should see a green checkmark and a summary of the new share on the Library config screen. If you failed to adjust the vers= parameter, above, then you'll likely get a red X instead.
Once you're returned to the moOde Library screen, go to m>Update library so the new share will be scanned.
Now the files in your Win10 share should show in the various Library views.
Win10 has become quite finicky as Microsoft continues to fiddle with SMB. I'm not surprised your moOde player doesn't show up as a computer in the network manager. However, once you enable UPnP service on the player, you'll see it show up as a media server.
