HELP, I am having the same issue. I can't connect/ping or access my NAS.

On latest Mountain Lion and MBP15, 2012.

Updated: I changed the NAS's IP form .6 to .7 (using a Windows PC), and the Mac has no problem accessing the .7 address. So clearly the problem is within the Mac, but where?

Well, I have found the cause of my problem! I have Intego installed and my NAS is configured as a WINS server in the LAN. The LAN had done a network scan and the Mac thought it was being scanned by a potential intruder and banned the NAS's IP.

I found the address listed under Blocked. I deleted that and then put my LAN into the Trusted Address list and now all is well.

Your situation may be different, but perhaps mine will give you an idea on where to look...
