Trying (and failing) to access my local files via Teleport

Question

I can get Teleport working and access local things in the browser (The UDR 7 at 192.168.1.1, the NVR instant, etc.) But what I *really* want is to be able to access my home network via File Explorer.

I have a dedicated PC/media server at home that stores all of our work and personal photos. (Also runs a Plex server) Our other PCs have mapped network drives to easily access whatever we need.

Using Teleport, I was hoping these mapped drives would just work. I can see the media server via the browser (proven by the Plex server being accessible), but the mapped drives are unresponsive.

When connected, I noticed my IP is listed as 192.168.2.1. Does that explain why things aren't visible? If home networking is a swimming pool, I'm ankles deep on the first step and know very little. I apologize if I have some terms or understandings wrong.

I don't want to go poking around UDR settings and unknowingly make things less secure. Thanks in advance for any advice!
