On Mac its done using Finder, Go, Connect to server. Then you type in server/share, maybe a userid and password or as in my case just select Guest and no password.
On Windows you would use File Manager but I don't know what the menu picks are...
Thanks for getting back to me Tim. In Windows 10 I created the connection to the music folder on my NAS - which coincidentally is also called 'NAS' on my network - by entering '\\NAS\music' into the address bar on File Explorer, as per the first image I attached in my last post.
The first time I did this a dialog box appeared asking for the user name and password for the NAS and I opted to complete this with my admin credentials for the NAS, and this info is now listed within Credential Manager.
I have absolutely no issues in connecting to the NAS from any PC running windows, so I'm at a loss at what's going on here. I've attached another image to this post, relating to the status of this SMB connection.
