I have tried it without the 8.8.8.8 so that would not appear to be the

The ReadyNAS logs give no new information. The Router logs don't even
mention the ReadyNAS one way or the other, even though the 'My
network' page does show it.
Yesterday it occurred to me that maybe the Router is blocking access to
the Internet for these devices (someone mentioned this as possibly due
to out-of-date protocols in these devices). This is possible because
other devices in the home (TVs, set-top boxes) do have access, but
personally can't see why the Router wouldn't be backwards compatible.
The only other thing I could think of that blocks access is the built-in
firewall. Is this possible? As I understand it, a firewall wouldn't
normally block access to traffic that originates from within the local
network and would allow responses from the Internet to these devices,
whereas the normal function of the Firewall would be to block requests
from the Internet, unless a port has been opened specifically for that
traffic.
Is there any other scenario that might apply?
