Unfortunately this didn't solve the problem. Added the static IP to the hosts file as directed, verified it's there after saving, but no go. If I enter "ping nas" at the command line it resolves to 192.168.1.9 and pings out fine.
What happens when you enter \\NAS in the windows explorer line?
Maybe also open CMD and enter
net use * /delete /y
net use t: \\NAS\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
and tell us what happens there too?

I can only enter the shares by putting in \\192.168.1.9 into an Explorer window. All my backups are failing now too. I'm not really looking for a workaround, I need to actually fix the problem. It works from my laptop that's on an earlier version of Windows, but from the second PC in the house that's also on Win10 version 19033 (Nov update), it's suffering the same fate.
