It's been this way for a long time, so I doubt apple will ever fix it. I found another app which DOES work, but there's no way to get the native files crapp to write anything to the drive.

Why are you using IPs again ?

On Linux/Win I can use the name of my computer, which is Wallace.

   smb://wallace/shared

I'm not forced to use

   smb://192.168.1.3/shared

There was a time, some years ago, when the nameserver situation
wasn't working quite as well, and using IPs was less work, than
testing names.

And most likely, the Apple device uses SMB2 or SMB3, rather than
the SMBV1 of WinXP era. This means there is a potential for your
Apple device, to not be able to reach an older NAS. On Windows 10/11,
there is an option to switch SMBV1 back on. And that's how
a person would deal with an older NAS they wanted to continue
using (between Windows and the NAS).
