What is the IP address and subnet mask of the computer you are working 
on?
It should be in the same range as the NAS, so something like 
192.168.0.nnn with subnet mask 255.255.255.0

If that is set correctly, the next step is to install a SMB client on 
your computer.
At least that's what Google tells me: the NAS seems to be exporting a 
"Windows drive", and since that is not native to Linux, you need 
additional software to use it, such as Samba-client. I'm sure other 
people can tell you how to install and configure that exactly.
