AJ, have you tried pinging the machine first? Are you sure Windows 8.1's firewall is open to allow filesharing?
It's establishing the network connection. It's just not taking credentials.

Ok now go to the security settings of
and add your outlook accountTried going to the Administrators group and adding ajstringham@outlook.com, which resolved to my local ajstringham user. Got this.
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.
Add it as a user on the computer?
-
Maybe it's this.
You might have to change it to the second option.

Joel, I already said that the user ajstringham@outlook.com resolves down to my local ajstringham account. They are one in the same.

When I go type ajstringham@outlook.com 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 ajstringham@outlook.com 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...

Yes something is definitely off here. I was getting Access Denied until I gave joelradon@hotmail.com ownership.

Nope, access denied. My bad.
