Bonding multiple NIC's w/ Cisco 3750
I have a new ReadyNAS 4220. I'm trying to bond all 4 1GbE NIC ports to a Cisco 3750G switch. I'm connecting to the management tool via the 10GbE port so the tool connectivity isn't affected by my tw...

Ok, I'm not an ether channel expert at all but let's see what we can do. I'll try to get the whole picture, tell me if I missed something.
Your NAS is directly connected to your 3750G through ports 3, 4, 5, 6 that are grouped in a single ether channel port called channel-group1 and referred to in your config as interface port-channel1.
I think the 3750G is a layer 3 switch with POE, I assume it provides both DHCP and inter-Vlan routing for your network. If not, how is the routing done ?
Your NAS has all interfaces bound into a single LACP interface and uses DHCP.
What are the VLAN parameters on the NAS ? If you set an IP address can you ping something (you may try to set an IP on your ether channel if possible, just to see if this works without using routing at all) ? Is there Firewalling or ACL on your network that could conflict ?
Since the problem appeared after you reset the NAS and that cisco devices tend to never be rebooted (and I assume nobody touched the config in the meantime), I would think that the problem is on the NAS, but I can't see how this could be the case if your interface is still configured properly.
