I am trying to configure Port Forwarding/Mapping for my Airport Extreme so that I can access my NAS hard drive online. Here's the specs:
NAS -> Buffalo LinkStation Pro Duo (LS-W1.0TGL/R1-V3), Firmware 3.07, IP Address: 71.64.192.140, Subnet Mask: 255.255.248.0, Default Gateway 0.0.0.0
Airport Extreme -> Firmware 7.3.2, IP Address 71.64.194.21, Router Address: 71.64.192.1
And finally, I don't have a static IP address.
Buffalo has an very simple online portal (BuffaloNAS.com) that you can access the NAS from. I spoke with the Buffalo tech department and they gave me the following settings for the NAS:
Web Access Service: Enabled
HTTPS/SSL Encryption: Enabled
Use BuffaloNAS.com: Enabled
DNS Hostname: [blank]
Auto-Configure Firewall (UPnP): Disabled
External Port: 9000
After making these configurations and still prompted with the "Error accessing BuffaloNas.com, check internet settings" the Buffalo Tech guy said that I'd need to open up a port on the router for the NAS.
Now to AirPort Utility...
First I select the "Internet" tab and change Connection Sharing from "Off (Bridge Mode)" to "Share a public IP address."
[BTW, after making this change I no longer have internet access]
Two sub-nav tags appear next to "Internet Connection," those being "DHCP" & "NAT." I select "NAT" and confirm that "Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol" is checked while "Enable default host at:" is not checked.
Clicking the button "Configure Port Mappings," I'm taken to the "Advanced" tab, sub-nav "Port Mapping" where I'll hit the "+" to create a new network access rule.
Here is where I am lost.
Public UDP Port(s): ?
Public TCP Port(s): ?
Private IP Address: 10.0.1.201
Private UDP Port(s): ?
Private TCP Port(s): ?
I've tried a few combinations I've found on various forums but I honestly don't really know what I'm doing at this point. I thought I was supposed to change the Private IP Address to that of the NAS but it will only allow me to change the last of the four numbers (ie 10.0.1.XXX). I've realized that I can change this slightly by going to the "Internet" tab "DHCP" sub-nav. However, it only gives me the beginning address options "10.0", "172.16" or "192.168."
So at this point, I could definitely use some pearls of wisdom. I'd really appreciate your time and help with this matter!
