Can't discover devices over the different VLANs

So basically I've set 2 VLANs on my router TP-Link ER7206.

I've set my server and NAS on one wired VLAN and my main computer on another wired VLAN. I can't discover my NAS through windows explorer but i can connect directly to the NAS \\192.168.YY.ZZ\SomeFolder.

on my Nic Realtek the VLAN set is 10 which is my main network and i want to see the vlan devices in id 20.

Total noob here.

    For this (name resolution) to work you'll need to stand up a local DNS server.
