Then I'm guessing you've got some kind of configuration in your network setup that's getting in the way, and trying to diagnose that in a message forum will be inefficient, at the very best. I'd urge you to call support and walk through the scenario with them. As the BT client ships with the firmware it should be supported.
I would, though, echo the suggestion of an earlier responder that you really should try installing a BT client on your computer and get that working first. I suspect you'll have difficulty there as well, since there isn't a great deal to configure on the NAS to make BT work.
Diagnosing the issue with a PC client might be easier too since you'll be able to more easily get diagnostic information from it. Once you've resolved the issues preventing it from working, then i'd return to the NAS and try using it from there.
