You won't be able to see it in the Network section of Windows Explorer. That is normal for networks without local DNS resolution, since standard Windows peer-to-peer networking uses broadcasts to advertise computers, which don't cross subnets.

However, you can still map a network drive that's on the NAS using \\\.
