I'm pretty sure you can't use guest if the users match. If Windows doesn't have a matching user you're fine. If Windows has a matching user, the passwords must match.
Have you double-checked the hostname/share naming restrictions?

I think you might be missing a key item here ... there should be NO authentication needed. The share is accessible to everyone including the guest user.
Another Windows system, with a totally different user id and *NOT* in the same windows domain, can access the share without a problem.
Unless QNTC can't use a public share?
I did try creating a local user id that corresponds exactly to my IBM i profile (profile name & case matching, password matches including case), but still can't see the share.
Our QPWDLVL is 0 and we don't have our IBM i profiles synced or linked to active directory.
