thanks Stephen, i have now bonded the NIC's using ALB, that's working perfectly now, have access to 192.168.1.245 and \\mysight-cloud\.
it did break the vpn, i told the vpn to use bond0 - didn't work, then told it to use eth0, still didn't work, but then told it to use eth1 and It works,
thanks very much for your help, if its still working in a few days then i know i have definitely cracked it

The package is installed on the NAS. the router doesn't have that facility.
Is there a reason the VPN can't also use eth0?
Then you could probably bond the NICs (using the ALB method). With 15 local users, you likely would see some performance boost.

Encouraging news, and please do follow up.
I use LACP bonding, but that requires explicit support in the switch or router. The only router I know of that supports LACP is the Netgear R8500.
ALB is the best option for unmanaged switches and most consumer-grade routers. It does sometimes misbehave, so it is good you are keeping an eye on it for a few days.
