Which is what I ended up doing and that was much simpler than I thought, except I could not get it to port forward 5005 as Synology recommended, though I don't appear to be using anything currently that needs that port.
Synology just released DSM 5.0-4458 yesterday and I installed it without a hitch. I retried EZ-Internet and still no luck but as I said it doesn't matter at this point for what I am doing with it. The update has a nice appearance to it. I don't know if any new functionality was added at this point.

I'm very impressed. I have no network management experience at all and admit this has been a learning experience for me, though initial setup was a breeze. I think I understand maybe 10% of what this unit is really capable of but continue to learn bit by bit. I really didn't understand much about it functioning as a personal cloud when I got it at Christmas but just love having access to all my music now on my iPhone with the DS audio app.
