Possibly the ports used for network browsing such as port 138 UDP are being
blocked to your computer. Also NBT can rely heavily on broadcasts which
normally do not go past a router. It would be normal to get a credential
prompt if you specify a unc path and have access to the target computer for
file and print sharing such as port139/445 TCP if you have proper name
resolution via NBT or dns. --- Steve
