ve just bought a D-link DNS 323 Nas drive and linksys Ip camera.


I can view them fine over the my LAN but having trouble viewing them over the net.


How do i go about doing this...Ive heard i have to open a port on the router to allow access and then connect to the device using my ip from my isp with a port number on the end.


Can anyone tell me how i go about opening up the port on the router (Netgear DG834G) and what IP do i send it to?....Is it the routers ip 192.168.0.1:confused:

Many thanks
 
your router should have a local and public address. the public address will be the address that isnt 192.168.0.1

you will need to connect to that public address and configure port forwarding on the router to handle and destination nat the traffic to the NAS unit and camera. You will have one port forward policy for each device/port.

see if any of this helps

Ok thanks


Ive just read through that but still a little confused.

The NAS drive is 192.168.0.10 and port 21.


Ive set up a new service for port 21

and im now setting up the firewall rule...Ive seletced inbound and selected the port 21 service ive just created.

What do i put in the Send to lan server box?...is it the ip of the nas box above or 192.168.0.1:confused:


Thanks
 
Thanks guys....That's what i was doing wrong sending it to the wrong ip not the ip of the camera /NAS box


Thanks again both :D
 
One last problem ive got....Im not sure if its the app im using or not.

Ive connected to the FTP on my nas box using Cyberduck on my mac and can view the files....The problem is when i go to transfer a file off the box it pops up saying.

I won't open a connection to 192.168.0.3 only to 192.168.0.1

Do you have any idea as to whats wrong at all?

Thanks

whats the error message say exactly?

maybe you have restricted the access to local hosts only, i.e. 192.168.0.0/24?
 
Ive just tried with flashfxp and get this error:

Thats with the port set to 1025

For viewing from the internet: if your ISP provides you with a dynamic public IP address - which most residential services do, try www.dyndns.org You register a name eg. me.gotdns.com and password, input these in to your Netgear in the DDNS settings. This way if your ISP changes your public IP (or you restart your router) your router will update dyndns.org with the new IP. When you type me.gotdns.com it will direct to your public IP and you never lose it.

Then set up a port forward to the port your camera is configured on, eg if your camera IP is 192.168.1.123 and on port 7777 then set up a forward rule on the Netgear to match.
 
Ok

Ive set the port for the Nas box to port 1025 when i first set it up.

Ive created a rule for 1025 which is what i have the NAS box set to ....Ive also created a rule each for port 20 and 21 and in the send to lan server box for each of those i put the ip of the NAS box ....Is that correct?

Thanks
