Mountain Lion Compatibility
Is there any early word on Mountain Lion compatibility for the ReadyNAS models?

After enabling multicast on the Dlink DIR-825 I sometimes get ReadyNAS connections over WiFi, sometimes not. I can connect to ReadyNAS shares via Connect to Server but Bonjour Browser (a little program that is useful in showing what Bonjour stuff your Mac can see (http://www.tildesoft.com)) does not show the ReadyNAS for either AFP or SMB. When all three instances appear in the Sidebar (things are working right), the ReadyNAS shows up in Bonjour Browser for AFP, SMB, iTunes Server, and some other categories. When things are not working and I mount a share via Connect to Server, the ReadyNAS shows only one instance in the Sidebar (no AFP or CIFS instances). Plus it appears in all small letters like namernd rather than like NameRND when things are working and there are three instances.
A MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard always gets ReadyNAS connections over WiFi so I'm not convinced that the router is the problem. I've also tried an old Netgear MR814 802.11b router as an access point and the "sometimes" behavior is the same. There seems to be some issue with Bonjour and wireless. I don't have any other wireless routers/access points to play with. Given the comments above, I'm not confident the 4.1.10 release or ML 10.8.2 are going to help, but I'll update those soon and see what happens.
