Unable to connect to smb shares on a Hackintosh Mac os Tahoe Machine

Apologies in advance, I'm a newbie with all of this.

I've managed to get Mac os Tahoe installed on my Ryzen 7 mini pc, the next step is for me to set up File sharing, so that I can access my usb drives that are connected to this pc from my macbook pro.

I've gone into File sharing on my Tahoe machine and have setup File Sharing and have added a local account so that I can use to connect to the usb drives.

However that I try to connect from my Macbook Pro (Go to Server smb://192.168.0.xx) it asks me to enter in credentials, but for some reason it doesn't accept the credentials.

I use Tuxera ntfs to grant me read/write access to the usb drives - will that effect anything?

I've also noticed that when I go to 'Get Info' on all of the usb drives, the local account is not shown under sharing and permissions, so I click on the padlock to unlock it and click on the + to add my local account, but when I click on the local account and click add - it doesn't add the user account.

Can anyone please help me ou with this, as it's doing my head in.

Thanks in advance
