Hi StephenB
I saw your reply (above) last night and it has sparked off a couple of ideas, but first you asked "Do the other two ReadyNAS also have Plex installed? Is the media library identical in all the NAS?".
Yes, all three of my RNDuoV2's have Plex installed on them and are all set up in exactly the same way, there is no difference whatsoever.
As mentioned before, the only difference between the first RNDuoV2 and the other two is that the first one's MAC address differs from it's name, this I have now corrected.
So, it is a mystery to me why only the first RNDuoV2 will not allow me to access Plex, while the other two still work perfectly. It must also be noted that I can still access the dashboard on all three RNDuoV2 without any problems.
As for the logs on this device, they are clean. As for SSH, I won't be able to use that (I'm too old) nor do I believe it would help if I could. As I wrote before, the problem started after a batch of windows updates so I believe it's probably caused by a security update, after all the rest of my NAS devices still works perfectly.
Consequently, my thoughts are that it's a windows problem rather than a RNDuoV2 problem, and I can still access the files on this device via windows explorer, it's just that I cannot access Plex directly.
Anyway, I'm still exploring other web-sites and other windows based solutions.
Cheers.

If that were the cause, it would have blocked access to all three plex servers.
More likely is that plex is crashing on the problem NAS. If I'm right about that, the only path forward is to figure out why that is happening. It could be a full OS partition or a corrupted plex config. If the media is different on the various NAS, then it is possible that a recently added media file could be causing the Plex media scanner to crash.
