  1. All advanced share settings are setup correctly on all devices on the network, #1 being no credentials required, except mine.

New install on new computer. Cannot connect to any shares, because I am prompted for credentials which not necessary. However, the one share it will connect to is mine, which DOES require credentials, yet there is no prompt for that.
