Hi Guys,
OK got a Nas drive and it's connected to my router (ip address of NAS is 192.168.2.2) i have an Internet connection to the router as well.
OK Question, got it all working and can access the NAS drive HTTP and also FTP - (from the Internet) but I've had to enable the below in the router and put the IP address of the NAS drive in default DMZ server.....
Default DMZ Server
Specifying a Default DMZ Server allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to anyone on the Internet for services that you haven't defined. There are security issues with doing this, so only do this if you're willing to risk open access. If you do not assign a Default DMZ Server, the router discards any incoming service requests which are undefined.
To assign a computer or server to be a DMZ server:
Click the Default DMZ Server check box.
Type the IP address for that server.
Click Apply.
So i'm wondering if that's ok and the correct way to do it.....or should i be messing around with port forwarding etc.
