I recently bought a network enabled external hard drive from LaCie.
It plugs straight into my D-Ling wireless router, and I access it via an internal IP address. I just go: connect to server, then type in the internal IP address on my mac.
I want to know how I can access this hard drive externally. Is there a way I can forward the ports on my router so that I can type in my external IP address (I will have to get a static one) on a different computer outside my network and then load the hard drive onto my desktop in the same manner?
If this is possible, what port range do I have to forward and is there anything else I need to know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Ben
