Hi Brandtz
I, like you, have a ReadyNAS Duo 2 and I am running it from my WinXP Pro SP3 PC.
OK, that said, I am communicating with my NAS via a modem-router that also acts as a DNS server and allocates IP addresses to my various Internet enabled hardware. However, for my NAS I have set my modem-router to provide it with a static IP while my PC has whatever IP is available.
Therefore, I must ask you this silly question, have you configured your set-up so that your NAS uses the same IP address all the time? And if so, then is your router still using the same IP to communicate with your NAS?
Let us know.
