Knowing the ReadyNAS remote address would not help you. ReadyNAS remote is a closed VPN.
If your Apple TV is on your home network, then you don't need to forward any ports. SMB (445) is already available throughout your home network - all you need to do is enable CIFS/SMB on the media share(s).
The person you are quoting was accessing SMB over the internet, not on their home network. What they did creates significant security issues (and some ISPs block port 445 - if either end of the connection uses an ISP that does that you cannot use that approach no matter how you set the router).
