I'm having the same problems. My setup is as follows:-
Comcast Business High-speed Internet with Static IP
Comcast cable modem model SMC-D3G
SonicWall TZ-190 Firewall
Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo LS-W1.0TGL/R1
I'm a complete novice. A local IT guy that takes care of our network took a look at it but he couldn't figure it out either.
In the SonicWall, he created a group under Firewall > Services named "Buffalo Services". Under that group, he created two rules:-
Name: Buffalo TCP
Protocal: TCP
Port Range: 9000-9000
Name: Buffalo UDP
Protocal: UDP
Port Range: 9000-9000
He created the following rule under Firewal > Access Rules:-
Action: Allow
From Zone: All Zones
To Zone: All Zones
Service: Buffalo Services
Source: Any
Destination: Any
Users Allowed: All
Schedule: Always On
The IP address for the Buffalo Linkstation is 192.168.1.80. My SonicWall is 192.168.1.1. After reading other posts, I checked my static IP address from Comcast using
www.ipchicken.com. It is 173.12.x.xxx.
I have entered the following into the Linkstation's Web Access > Service Setup:-
Web Access Services: Enable
HTTPS/SSL Encription: Disable
Use BuffaloNAS.com: Enable
BuffaloNAS.com Name: myname
BuffaloNAS.com Key: mykey
DNS Hostname:
Auto-Configure Firewall (UPnP): Disable
External Port: 9000
Can anyone give me step-by-step instructions to get this working? I've contacted Buffalo but they just copied/pasted the page from the instruction book.
Thanks
Peter
