Pass internet through readynas
Hi, I have an older Ultra 6 using OS6. I would like to setup so that I can pass through my internet through the NAS to my PC. So my setup would be ROUTER -> eth0 in NAS, eth1 in nas -> PC ...

I don't think you'll be able to get this to work. I suggest getting an inexpensive gigabit switch instead, and connect both the NAS and the PC to the switch. You should be able to find something suitable for ~ $25 USD.

Had hoped to avoid the extra devices, but I guess it's an option.
Cheers.

So I tried to set up a bridge using bridge utils. The moment I added the interface using addif the NAS stopped responding to my SSH and the admin interface stopped responding as well. After a reboot the bridge was deleted .... So yeah, I stopped toying with it and found a gigabit switch instead. That will have to do until I get cables installed properly in the walls :)
Cheers for the help.
