Unable to access Photos II from outside my network

I have this same issue. ReadyNAS Duo v2 on a linksys E2500 via comcast. If I turn off UPnP and forward 8086 it makes no difference, I always see this:
OK: All connection tests from ReadyNAS Photos II to UPnP Router and photos.readynas.com site have passed.
OK: Hostname my_nas_name is available.
Error: Fail to access Photos II (http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8086) from internet. (error=-2). If you disabled automatic configuration of UPnP router, please make sure port 8086 is forwarded to the NAS.
OK: Successfully found your public IP (xx.xx.xx.xx).
This thread is a couple months stale but I see no answer to the problem. Just like the thread where readynas remote utterly fails... do any of these Netgear services actually work?
