I really appreciate your post from 7/28 about my DNS problem. I tried your solutions and I'm still having issues (likely user error again).
Here is how I set this up, step-by-step:
dnsdyn.com:
DNS hostname is xxxxx.homeip.net
This DNS points to the NAS at 192.168.x.xxx (the NAS static IP address). Is that correct? Please confirm that is correct.
NAS:
No SSL
DNS Hostname: xxxxx.homeip.net
Port: 8081
Linksys Router (WRT54GS):
I cannot forward one port to another port as far as I know. There is port forwarding and port triggering on my router. I've been using port forwarding. The port forwarding lets you forward a range of ports to a specific IP address. You cannot forward one port to another port (as far as I know). Also, I've been using both TCP and UDP when forwarding (check off "Both").
I've tried forwarding port 8081 to 192.168.x.xxx and that doesn't work.
I've tried forwarding port 9000 to 192.168.x.xxx and that doesn't work.
I've tried forwarding the range of ports from 8081 to 9000 to 192.168.x.xxx and that doesn't work either.
I attached a link to the Linksys manual so you can see what I've been seeing...
Linksys User Manual See page 15 of this manual for the port forward instructions. I have version 7.
So my router forwarding would look like this:
Application Start Port End Port TCP/UDP IP
NAS 8081 8081 Both 192.168.x.xxx
Prior to the DNS, I used Buffalo's web access, so the above was 9000 for Start and 9000 for End. I've also tried (with no success) start/end = 9000; start 8081 and end 9000. Nothing works...
So, that's all. I've tried everything, but must have a step wrong somewhere along the line.
Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED.
