Ryan,

This could be because Server Message Block v1 (SMBv1) is not active on Win 10 and needed to work with Win 8.1 and XP. Win 10 r1709 and later does not install SMBv1, but previous versions upgraded to r1709 or later will maintain SMBv1. Fresh r1803 for example, will not install SMBv1.

See: SMBv1 is not installed by default in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Windows Server, version 1709 and later versions https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4034314/smbv1-is-not-installed-by-default-in-windows

To Enable SMBv1 on Win 10:

Start > PC Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Programs and features
> Turn Windows features on or off
Locate and expand [+] SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
Check:
SMB 1.0/CIFS Automatic Removal
SMB 1.0/CIFS Client
(and if hosting on Win 10, accessing from XP)
SMB 1.0/CIFS Server

Select OK
Restart PC.

Once restarted:
Start > PC Settings > Network & Internet > Network and Sharing Center
Select the adapter under Connections:
Select Properties:
Select Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties
Select Advanced...
Select tab WINS
Under NetBIOS Setting
Select Default:

Finally, create a SMBv1-On.reg file

REGEDIT4

;; To enable or disable SMBv1 on the SMB server
;; SMB1=1 Enabled, Default
;; SMB1=0 Disabled
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"UseOpportunisticLocking"=dword:00000000
"SMB1"=dword:00000001
;; "SMB1"=dword:00000000

and Open SMBv1-on.reg from ZTreeWin

Restart PC.

This should enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP and allow connections to Win XP and most Samba Share systems.

Be Warned that SMBv1 has been deprecated and is not recommended by Microsoft due to security issues that cannot be solved.

See: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010 - Critical

Hope this helps.
