That's your problem, mate. Your IPs are constantly conflicting.
I can see why you might want to keep them static but if you use DHCP on the router to automatically assign your IPs, and whack the lease time up, they will be.
On my WRT54GL you can set the lease range so you could feasibly set DHCP to allocate the PCs 192.168.1.3 -> leaving 1.2 outside the range of IPs in the pool for the NAS.
It's in the right subnet so I suspect it can't get online because of an IP conflict. Keep it simple and keep one of the PCs off, then before you bother with DHCP then go into the properties of the PC connection and set it to something way-out like 1.9, then power cycle it all, and then turn it on in this order - router then NAS then PC, then try and connect or ping the NAS using a command line.
Then you can statically assign the PC to the next one up from the NAS or whatever you want to do. Personally, I DHCP the lot. But then, six PCs, 2 PSPs and a PDA would make static IPs slightly more of a pain.
