ReadyNAS NV+ v2 RND4000-200EUS
the model is RND-4B, but this system won't allow me to type that in. :(
there used to be a forum on here for Mac users, and that seems to have disappeared. so i'm hoping someone will be able to...
NV+ v2 RND4000-200EUS is exactly what we need to know. RND-4B would have required some followup.

the IP address for this box always use to be 192.168.0.3, but for some reason it is now 192.168.168.168 (and i haven't changed ANYTHING!), and i can't access it either through the browser or the Finder.

Your home network is using 192.168.0.x addresses, so you can't reach 192.168.168.168. That has nothing to do with your Mac btw.
Your NAS uses DHCP to get an IP address from your router. If that doesn't work for some reason, it fails over to 192.168.168.168. That allows people to still access their NAS using a direct-connect procedure (though that is rather cumbersome). So we want to get DHCP working again.
First confirm that the NAS actually has an ethernet connection. The LED next to the ethernet connection on the back should be lit. If it's not, then post back, and don't try any of the steps below.
If the NAS ethernet is active, then try this:
- disconnect the ethernet cable from the NAS
- reboot the router
- reconnect the ethernet cable and see if you get a 192.168.0.x address
If that fails, then try rebooting the NAS, and see if that resolves it.
If it still insists on 192.168.168.168, then try doing an OS reinstall using the NAS boot menu. That will reset your ReadyNAS network configuration, and will also reset your admin password back to password. It shouldn't affect your data or other settings. Instructions for doing the OS reinstall are on pages 24-25 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/ReadyNAS_Duov2_NV+v2_HW_en_23-Mar-12.pdf
