Hello shireeshj,
Are you saying you cannot get to the NAS volume via AFP? Maybe you want to try connecting the NAS straight to the computer and then run RAIDar to see its current IP address so you'll know what IP subnet to manually assign to the computer.
Welcome to the community!

It is certainly not the IP address issue. I can use the NAS with "SMB shared folders" without any issues. But Timemachine uses AFP, and that is where I have the problem.

Tried upgrading to 6.7.5
It does not fix the problem.

Have you tried to create a regular share using AFP and connect to that, apart from TimeMachine?

Tried creating an AFP share... but it does not allow me to create one. the error message is "Failed to create share. Please verify that the share name is valid and unique" Code 101305001
I am using plain text (alphabets only, without any spaces) for the share name, which works for an SMB share. Also verified that the name is unique. So I dont think the error message is accurate

The other problem is also the error I get whenever a user account details are modified. Creating a new account is no issues, but changing anything on an existing account throws "Could not save user info" error.
The page does not allow me to copy-paste the error details and I dont see any provision here to attach a screenshot image :(
