Clonezilla hangs mounting Synology DS411j NAS drive using nfs

Sorry for dumb question but I'm 73 and slow. My Synology supports nfs which works well elsewhere. It's using a fixed IP of 192.168.1.146. I supply this when prompted and use the default mask. But then it asks for FQDN or hostname with a default of 192.168.1.254. I don't know what that is but the default didn't work so I used 192.168.1.146. It asks for a nameserver with a default of 8.8.8.8. Why does it need a nameserver? I left the default.
Well, it tries to mount nfs and says the server reports it doesn't support nfs 3 which is a crock. So, I enabled nfs4 on the Synology and tried nfs4. It tries to mount with:
mount -t nsf4 192.168.1.146:/volume1/images /home/partimag -o noatime,nodiratime,
but it just hangs forever.
For kicks, I booted my Linux Mint 18 and tried exactly the same command, just changing home/partimag to media/images and it worked fine.
Why won't Clonzilla mount the same way? And, what is FQDN and what should I use for nameserver?
Many thanks for any help.
You can forget about FQDN since you are in private network environment.
When it failed to mount your NAS server, did you try to ping your NAS by running:
ping 192.168.1.146
?
Any response?
