Doing some research, it sems it may have something to do with a static IP address I had for the NAS on my previous router. However, I've tried restoring the factory settings in the hope it would remove the static IP but no luck.
If you can still access the ReadyNAS Web UI, then the issue isn't caused by an incompatible static IP address. But If your router lets you reserve IP addresses (most do), then that is better than using a static address configuration in the ReadyNAS. You'd remove the static IP address in the NAS via the ReadyNAS Web UI.

What happens if you enter \\nas-ip-address into the Windows Explorer address bar? Use the real NAS IP address of course, and be careful on the slash direction.
