I was able to configure Dropbox on the NAS so I'm pretty confident it can access the internet. Is there a better way to confirm this?

Then the apps should be showing up in the available apps page :smileyfrustrated:

You can download and install manually from apps.readynas.com

Well, it was factory reset yesterday afternoon and so far hasn't shown any apps. I downloaded mysql, php5 and phpmyadmin. When I upload any of the .deb files, I get an eror message that the application cannot be installed. :(
