I was trying to log into https://myNas which was giving me fits on Chrome. All I had to do was go to http://myNas, accept the certificate, and now I can access it normally. Sheesh, what a PITA!

Your NAS does have an SSL certificate, it's just self-generated. Since you re-installed, and especially if the IP address changed, you probably need to re-generate it (go to System > Settings > Services and select the HTTPS button), and that may get you back to where you were. A standard SSL certificate cannot be used on a private network, and the self-signed one is still going to give you a strong warning, but you should be able to click through it. If not, you may need to change your Chrome security preferences.
I'm pretty sure Chrome first uses the Windows Hosts file for DNS look-up, so putting an entry there may also help. You can find instructions by Googling.

I've replaced the SSL certificate.
Chrome is not having any problem finding the ReadyNAS so it's not a DNS problem.
Believe me, I have Googled for this.

No, that was the first thing that had done.

Are you saying that the problem occured right after you replaced the SSL certificate???
FWIW, I did a fresh install on one of my own NAS last week, and didn't see this.
