That's not what I asked you to do. Try adding it the account itself. Don't worry about the group as a whole yet.

AJ, have you tried pinging the machine first? Are you sure Windows 8.1's firewall is open to allow filesharing?
Ping works fine.

What do your sharing settings look like?

It's establishing the network connection. It's just not taking credentials.

Add it as a user on the computer?

You might have to change it to the second option.

Joel, I already said that the user [email protected] resolves down to my local ajstringham account. They are one in the same.

When I go type [email protected] into a box where you would type a username for adding them in security on a folder or drive or whatever, when I hit check now, it resolves to AJSTRINGHAM-PRO\ajstringham.

I am going to test on Windows 10. Give me 10 minutes
-
@Dashrender , that didn't fix it.

Works for me. I am able UNC to \IP\C$ even though my work PC is on the domain and that Windows 10 test PC is not.

Ok, if I do that and DON'T click check names, I can add [email protected] as itself.

Still doesn't take the credentials.
-
To be honest, it's not taking local admin credentials either. I'm starting to think there is something else at work here...

Are you getting access denied or invalid username/password?
-
To be honest, the files in question are on my NAS. I actually just transferred them from the NAS to the main workstation in question. Now I'm more just curious as to why authentication isn't working...
