can't connect to ReadyNAS server

Same issue here: "ReadyNAS Remote could not connect to the ReadyNAS server, please check your internet connection and DNS settings. If the ReadyNAS is behind an HTTP proxy, please make sure you have entered correct proxy server settings"

Not using a proxy server and ReadyNAS Duo is connected directly to a Verizon FiOS modem, meaning I don't have an additional router on the network. The ReadyNAS has an static IP address if that is of any importance.

For troubleshooting I have (1) reinstalled ReadyNAS firmware, (2) reinstalled ReadyNAS Remote add-on v1.0.9.78, (3) restarted P2P under ReadyNAS remote management, and (4) added Verizon's DNS servers directly into the ReadyNAS DNS Servers under Network ->Global Settings.

When looking into the LeafP2P.log file, I see there is no proxy:
"Applying firewall 0
Applying rescan devices 1
url https://peernetwork.netgear.com:443//peernetwork/services/LeafNetsConfigWebService
No proxy
url https://peernetwork.netgear.com:443//peernetwork/services
url https://peernetwork.netgear.com:443//peernetwork/services/LeafNetsWebServiceV2
"....

and then I see an error:

"Member NAS_000DA20xxxx4

Any other suggestions for troubleshooting anyone?
