I would start by updating the ReadyCLOUD app and the ReadyNAS firmware.

You could also check the firewall on the Windows machine.
If your computer and NAS are on the same LAN, there are other (and imho better) ways to backup your data to the NAS.

I am having same problem and I have updated my Nas box (RN20200) with the latest firmware. I am running latest Mac OSX. I can only connect to my NAS box using readycloud when I am on the same Lan. So in my mind there must be some ports in the FW that need to be open. Do any out there got any Ideas.

good thinking... while I didn't find any problems with the firewall on my PC, there could be a problem in the settings of my router, that the NAS is connected to?

I can see that it is another interface that are used when using the readycloud app compared to using the web-interface. I can access my NAS box via web interface, but not via the app. Anyone knows the different access methods ports etc ?
