Unable to COnnect to local NAS via WIndows 11

I have a 10 TB NAS that my wife and I back up our files. I recently purchased a second (external) drive as a second backup (Backup of my Backup).

I first went into my network setting and enables all file sharing access

I then connected my Synology NAS via an RJ34 cable and booted everything up and my Lenovo T14 Gen 4 (Windows 11) did recognize the NAS

You can see the "SYNOLOGY_NAS." Now normally when clicking on the icon it usually requires an user id and password. But I get an error

I can't figure out why I can't access. So I'm starting with Microsoft assuming there is a setting I may have forgotten to turn on or off. I can trans fer the files via my network when the NAS is connected to my network but to transfer the number of files wirelessly will take days verse 10-15 hours via an RJ34 cable.

Any suggestion as to why I get the cannot access error. I know it works I've done it in the past. Granted a year or so ago but never then less I know I can just can't presently.

    Hello,

    Please try the following steps to see if your issue is solved.

    1. Press win+R to open Run, enter regedit to open the Registry Editor.
    2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
    3. Find AllowInsecureGuestAuth. If not, create a new DWORD (32) item and rename it to AllowInsecureGuestAuth. Set it to 1 and confirm.
    4. Restart the computer and reconnect again.

    Best regards
