    I have an issue as of yesterday (2/23) where I can no longer access my WHS shares (Photos, Videos... anything) while connecting via the LAN.  Every time I try log in it says "\\<WHS>\<share> is not accessible.  You might not have permissions to use this network resource...".  Since it rejects the logged in user it then prompts me to type in a user/password. This also results in the same error, regardless of the user (e.g. Administrator or any other WHS valid user).  The part that is driving me nuts is that I can log in to the server via RDP, WHS console and the browser (https://<name>.homeserver.com).  From the WHS console and the server (RDP) I validate the username and passwords are correct, but still cant log in from the local shares.  

    Additional info:

    I have 3 desktops (2 Win 8.1 and 1 Win 7), 2 laptops (Win 7) and the WHS.  They all show the exact same issue, which logically points me to the WHS... but nothing has changed!  It's been humming along for 6+ years with no issues. I've rebooted the router plus all machines.  I also get a reply when pinging the IP and if I ping with "-a" it shows the correct name resolved.  

    What am I missing?

    Problem solved.  The date/time on the WHS was out of sync.  Once I entered the correct time and date on the server I was able to share again with no issues!  

    Thanks to a day of combing the internet I found this post and it solved the problem:
