Hi StephenB,
Thank you for your response.
No - I still couldn't access it using the IP address.
It turns out the problem was that the email address i used for the device settings was the same is used for ReadyCloud and this was confusing the computer.
All sorted now by disabling my ReadyCloud account. just need to ensure that the email address for REadyCloud is different to the device.

Does it work when you access it by the NAS ip address.

I was having this same issue and went through several threads and posts trying to resolve it. Found your solution. Changed my ReadyCloud email to my alternate email address and it worked. Can't believe the solution was that simple. Thank you for posting.
