Each pc is directly connected to the NAS? If so, you need to use a different subnet for each connections.
1. Let's say your main subnet for all the machines is 192.168.0.0/24.
2. On the NICs to connect the first PC to the NAS, use 192.168.101.0/24 (or a /30).
3. On the NICs to connect the second PC to the NAS, use 192.168.102.0/24 (or a /30).
You can't have two separate layer 2 networks connected to the same NAS on which you use a unique layer 3 addressing.
