[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 489148, member: 11094"] Assuming the AE is plugged into a modem and not a modem/router combo. Port forwarding like that should work providing the IP is correct. If there is a modem/router combo unit which is common these days with home networks, the device will also be running NAT and hence the true port forwarding would need to be forwarded through the modem/router first. In some instances calling your ISP to configure their device as a bridge so that it doesn't NAT would help greatly. [url]ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21[/url] is not required if you are not changing the FTP port. [url]ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx[/url] is all you need. If you did however change the listening port to something other than 21 you would specify the port after a colon. SMB (or Samba) is an open source file sharing protocol supported by Win, Linux and Mac. Most NAS devices support SMB and AFP. SMB 445 AFP 548 AFP is the default for OS X and not required in the connect to server dialogue box. SMB can be used like this,.. SMB://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Both SMB and AFP will require credentials to login. [/QUOTE]
