If UPnP is not available then you will need to disable it on the Linkstation, manually select an external port and then forward this port on your router. If you don't know how to forward a port on your router then google it.
Should take 2 minutes.
But why? My router settings says clearly that UPnP is activated.
Iīm also pretty sure that it worked before, in the "Automatic" setup.
But maybe, could you then please help a rookie? :-)
Iīve did that, googled, and found the page how to port forward my router. It only talkes about port forwarding together with apps and games.
And I donīt really see how to "match" that info page with the parameters/info in the web access settings page for the Linkstation.
For a pro like you itīs easy, I think - and hope. :-))
The Linkstation talks about:
External port: NNNNN (5 given digits)
Internal port number for NAS: NNNN (4 given digits)
And on the other hand, my router settings are these:
Protocol WAN port LAN port DestinationThe last one I surely understand, itīs the IP number for where I keep all my data, the Linkstation.
But what about the others, what shall I put in there?
Just to secure one more thing... shall I then use the Buffalo Web Access app when I try to reach the NAS outside our own Network (using the WWW for example) or should I use a browser, putting in the IP number to my NAS there? Or maybe it will be possible to do both?
