As I said, iptables is not a strong point for me. But when I read your setup, it seems that you do not actually accept ethernet broadcasts; you only accept 192.168.xxx.xxx packets, and obviously, the NAS will not know to use that address range the first time. Maybe something like: -m addrtype --dst-type BROADCAST -j ACCEPT
