if you could draw how you've connected everything up like a diagram it would be easier to understand.
a modem with multiple ports is similar to a router, the modem has a built-in switch node where the modem manages the NAT and DHCP.
its possible that you just havent port forwarded the NAS, or the settings of the NAS is in "i dont want visitors" mode.

I wish I could spend more time on this but I'm in the middle of class. I'll sum it up really quick.
NAS + Main computer connected to MODEM which has 4 ports out. Other computers connected to the router (not the modem). So right now the NAS and Main computer are my main concern. I want to first make sure these two are working properly. I don't think I have an interface for the modem like how the router does (192.168.1.1 is what I mean). How do I forward the NAS properly? Even though I did say it could "share" files with other computers.

try bridging the modem and router first.

I know this might seem random but I was looking a while back and saw that some people use Ethernet in place of USB. Now I know this would really only see benefits if you had like a 10gbs or higher Ethernet set up, or if it was between two stationary units, etc. But I was wondering do any of you have a set up like that?
Note * I'm not really asking of the benefits of this setup or the draw backs , I mean if you want to post them I guess you could but I don't have this setup nor do I expect to. (unless I had at least a 10Gb/s Ethernet card on both PCs and one was my main and the other like a file server)

no home setup will ever need a 10GB/s setup. I have one but only because I could do it. gbit eithernet trumps USB anyday and the ease of access for multiple places is what makes it worth while.. I assume you are talking about storage. If you have USB you set it up to a host then have to share the host and so fourth where if its straight ethernet just access it from anywhere and be done.
