I have three Pro machines, one serving as a NAS with a standard share for the user "everyone" that has full permissions. In gpedit, the option to allow insecure guest login is enabled across all devices. Network settings are configured with registration active, file sharing enabled, and password protection disabled. The firewall permits SMB traffic on both internal and external subnets. If a device on the 192.168.82.0/24 subnet connects to the NAS share, it works seamlessly using the path "\\192.168.82.101\Files" without requiring user input. Connecting from another subnet like 10.0.8.0/24 always triggers a password prompt. On the NAS logs, events 551 and 1009 indicate access denials due to missing credentials. I’ve searched for similar discussions but haven’t found a resolution. It seems "everyone" might not be covering subnets beyond "local," though I can’t confirm. Could be a configuration gap or permissions issue?
