Hello,

Could someone please offer some assistance.  I've recently purchased a ix4-200d Iomgea Storage NAS device. I'm not able to access it through the Storage Manager Iomega software remotely off site. My Router is a DIR-827.

I"m not certain of the port forwarding settings or how to do it exactly. the TCP and the UIDP, are they suppose to be both the same? i've tried just the UIDP to forward and still nothing. 

Thanks,

Jason

Have tried using Virtual Server settings instead of PF?

[Jason_Canada]

No, I haven't. Hmm. Is it a simple enable? I'm a bit lost with the Navigation within the settings.

[Jason_Canada]

I found it - I've disabled it " Port Forwarding" Now for some reason or other in the pull down list of computers I'm not able to see my NAS drive like before? oh boy, this is frustrating.  Thank you for your help, I do do appreciate it.

[FurryNutz]

I recommend reserving iP addresses ON the router for ALL devices before setting up any application rules.

[Jason_Canada]

Ok Done that.

[FurryNutz]

Let us know if Virtual Server works for you.
I forgot, if you go back a setup PF, disable uPnP under advanced/advanced networking and test again.

[Jason_Canada]

Hi, ok its in the right direction.

Now, what port protcocol do I use? and is it for both or UDP?

[FurryNutz]

Try using both or use specific.

[Jason_Canada]

Thanks,

Let me try it within the next couple of hourse. Kids, life, blah :-)

[FurryNutz]

 

[Jason_Canada]

Alright,

I tried both and UDP, nothing.  Still the same response.  Both ports are set to 50500, again attempted to use both.

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?

[Jason_Canada]

Service - Cable  ( Cogeco )
Modem - Standalone  ( Model #RCA DCM425 )

Does the Mfr of the NAS have any specific port information regarding use and setup? You might contact them as well and see if there is any additional information.
