Multicast Ping
Authored by: punka on Nov 13, '09 07:45:53PM

When I pinged 169.254.255.255, I did not get any responses.

I believe the multicast IP is actually 224.0.0.1. Pinging that IP got responses back from all of the devices on my network, so long as they support multicast. I don't know if NAS machines will respond.

You could always find the IP of your NAS from any other computer on the network.
