I totally understand the difference between DHCP addresses and static addresses.  I use a combination of both.

Try this, clear your logs
Connect to the NAS with the wired system then try with the wireless and compare the log.
Also ping your wireless systems in "tools" "system check".

Portforwarding may be an option.


NAT Endpoint Filtering
The NAT Endpoint Filtering options control how the router's NAT manages incoming connection requests to ports that are already being used.

Endpoint Independent
Once a LAN-side application has created a connection through a specific port, the NAT will forward any incoming connection requests with the same port to the LAN-side application regardless of their origin. This is the least restrictive option, giving the best connectivity and allowing some applications (P2P applications in particular) to behave almost as if they are directly connected to the Internet.
Address Restricted
The NAT forwards incoming connection requests to a LAN-side host only when they come from the same IP address with which a connection was established. This allows the remote application to send data back through a port different from the one used when the outgoing session was created.
Port And Address Restricted
The NAT does not forward any incoming connection requests with the same port address as an already establish connection.
Note that some of these options can interact with other port restrictions. Endpoint Independent Filtering takes priority over inbound filters or schedules, so it is possible for an incoming session request related to an outgoing session to enter through a port in spite of an active inbound filter on that port. However, packets will be rejected as expected when sent to blocked ports (whether blocked by schedule or by inbound filter) for which there are no active sessions. Port and Address Restricted Filtering ensures that inbound filters and schedules work precisely, but prevents some level of connectivity, and therefore might require the use of port triggers, virtual servers, or port forwarding to open the ports needed by the application. Address Restricted Filtering gives a compromise position, which avoids problems when communicating with certain other types of NAT router (symmetric NATs in particular) but leaves inbound filters and scheduled access working as expected.

Just curious you didn't mention what firmware your running.

What type of antivirus are you running on your machines?

[JBattin]

I'm running AVG and Norton.  BUT - it can't be the firewall or anti-virus because I don't have issues when I use my Wireless G AP and not the 655 AP.

[JBattin]

OK I had the logs set to not show INFO - once I opened it up to also show INFO I noticed that a Mac address was not being accepted.  That MAC address was the same as one I already had in my MAC filter list - except in one position there should be a B instead of an 8.  Once I changed that I can now get to my NAS.

The difference between my Wireless G and the 655 was that I didn't have to have wired Mac addresses in the Filter list like I do on the 655.

Thank you everyone for all of your thoughts and ideas.  Hopefully I don't make this mistake again.

LOL...good for you!

Alot of trouble for that simple mistake, but it's a learning experience.

[Lycan]

Uninstall Norton and see what happens.
Norton profiles network hardware by MAC address. Give it a try.

Thanks for the ideas Lycan - but I've resolved the issue - see above.
