Version of Windows? Try browsing to the IP address instead of the machine name.
I have has issues with that but I forget the reason; it is a Windows setting though.
You just substitute the IP address for the name like: \\192.168.1.101\your-share\

PS. I have run into that issue with Debian derived Linux also, such as Mint Linux, but it is for a different reason.
The easy solution is using the IP of the NAS.
