Tell us what's going on

· I am attempting to add missing codecs to my Rock (running on Nuc), and I am getting an error message when using guest login to \\rock\data from my Windows PC that I "can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthorized guest access..."

Hi @David_Weber,

Windows 11 does not allow for guest fallback with third-party NAS SMB connections.

This means you’ll need to take some extra steps in your Windows network sharing settings. The guide @alex_h shared above is quite authoritative. Here’s another guide from Microsoft if you’re still having difficulty.
