I was setting up my old Desktop as a NAS, and I sorta got lost setting it up. When I click on the PC under "Network" it lets me see the shared folders. However, when I click on the folder, it says that I need to contact my "Network Admin". This is a home network. How do I fix this

What have you set up as a NAS software in the old desktop ? Have you enabled the network discovery in the network settings ? Are both machines unser the same subnet ?
