Have you tried "Block Services" on that single IP?
(Advanced Tab->Security->Block Services. Drop down to "Any" and put in the single IP address.)
When I set up servers (in the past, looong ago) I was able to define Firewall rules in the server to block access by IP address. i.e. block "everything" and then allow 192.168.1.1/24. Do not own a NAS now, so have no idea what configuration options they have typically.
