Hello gonzonia,

I have not seen other post similar to this problem you are encountering, meaning if this is an issue with the NAS other community members would have reported the same concern. For a guide to access the NAS via AFP please go here.

gonzonia,

Sorry for the confusion, what I do mean is that this might be an isolated issue might be a problem on the NAS or might be cause by something else. The next best option would be to isolate the problem, as mentioned on your last reply the exact same problem occur after upgrading the firmware of your nighthawk router. The router and the NAS are different hardware devices and have their own respective firmware.

Marty_M,
I appreciate the reply. It's odd. Now the ReadyNas does appear in the Shared section of Finder. I don't know what changed.
However, in your reply above you were confusing me with Ziggs. I don't have a Nighthawk router.

gonzonia,

Sorry I misread and thought that was one of your update however through finder you can access the NAS via ip address and hostname. There is a possibility just took time for the MAC computer to detect and resolve the hostname.

  I've found even for detecting other Mac computers, Apple's discovery of devices on the network can be a bit hit and miss at times.
