Authorization error when mapping NAS drive from new Windows 10 laptop

[turpkr]

Hi!

Not so tech-savvy user here, with problems establishing a mapped connection from my Windows 10 laptop to my Buffalo LinkStation NAS drive
       LS420D (LS420D65D)

The error message I get: "The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred: The account is not authorized to log in from this station."

Notes:

I CANNOT connect/map it from my Windows 10 work laptop (probably has plenty of additional workplace-installed security stuff, and access restrictions that I can't override)

   
• It doesn't work through the "NAS Navigator" that I downloaded - it sees the drive, but won't let me explore it.
• It doesn't work when mapping through File Explorer
• I am never asked for a username/password
• I AM able to access the NAS settings by accessing it via its static IP address, but not the files
• I CANNOT even access it from the cloud via WebAccess, which works on my phones, on my friends' computers, etc.

I CAN connect/map it from my other laptops (including my previous Windows 7 work laptop, with probably the same security stuff and access restrictions, and also my own personal Windows Vista machine)

   
• I do not need to connect with a username/password

What I've tried:Rebooting the NAS

   
• Rebooting the laptop
• Disabling Windows Firewall on the laptop
• Updating the firmware on the LinkStation
• Enabling SMB on the NAS and the laptop
• Enabling SMB2 on the NAS and the laptop and rebooting
• Creating a a DWORD value called 'AllowInsecureGuestAuth' in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters and setting the value to 1.  - note, I really probably shouldn't be playing with registry values, being that I don't know what I'm doing!

I think I tried a few other things... can't remember them all.

Anyone wanna lend a hand in solving this mystery?
