I'm guessing you probably uninstalled an app and then this problem started?
There was a known issue where uninstalling certain apps could lead to loss of access to the web admin page. This has since been addressed and other improvements made in newer firmware.One option would be to power down, remove your disks (label order), put a scratch disk in, use that to update the firmware, verify the firmware update was successful, power down, remove the scratch disk and put your disks back in and power on.
Another option I've mentioned to you in a PM I've just sent.

Mar 06, 2017That sound pretty bad.
Well, I assume you are doing all this going through a router/switch, which is between the NAS and the PC.
In case your NAS has a static IP-address, please try to directly link a pc to one of the network ports of the NAS using a crossover cable and see what you get.
Before you do that, make sure neither NAS nor PC has any other link into the network. The cable between the NAS and the PC will be the only connection those two boxes should have. Also disable wireless on your PC. Oh, you also need to have a static IP-address for the PC and make your NAS the PC's default gateway and dns server during that test.
By this approach you will exclude all potential error sources in your network potentially making it impossible to get through.

Oh, not to forget. While having your NAS and the concerned PC isolated from the network you could afford to switch off the windows firewall on the PC. The message "connection refused" sounds a bit odd. It could be, that Windows wants to protect you and for what reason ever is not allowing you to go to the NAS except through smb connections.
