First of all, I'm going to give the generic response that I give
whenever a networking problem occurs.   Run tcpdump, ethereal,
whatever, on one (or preferably both) ends of the problematic
connection and see what packets are actually being sent/received.   I
have found that comparing what I see in a broken connection to a
working connection usually makes it much easier to figure out where I
got the configuration wrong.

Now for a specific suggestion.    I've seen low cost appliance vendors
place arbitrary restrictions on their hardware in order to avoid
competing with "enterprise" products.   Is it possible that the
ReadyNAS box has some kind of artificial restriction that it will only
talk to the local subnet?

Good Luck,
