I have a LS-VL849 Firmware version:1.37
I am running a 2Wire 2700HBV-2 Router it does not seem to support Upnp. So I have manually configured the Advanced settings. I have determined the NAS Internal port is 9000, but I can not find an external port that works. I have tried the suggested 9000 default and have set TCP and UDP on the router to allow 9000. I can access the web portal internally but cannot access it through the link buffolnas/bvella or through the website. Please help!!
It sounds like a port forwarding issue. I would call who ever supports 2wire and have them help you set up port forwarding.
If I don't use uPnP to set it up, but manually. It should work the same, right? ie the NAS would still be able to register itself with BuffaloNAS.
I noted incorrect WAN IP is being registered and hence incorrectly resolved by BuffaloNAS.
If you have a 2-wire you are double natting and you will need to have the 2-wire bridged.
Uh... what Josh? Double natting?
Hi Josh, and also how do you "bridge" it.
You don't need to bridge it, you just need to properly forward the ports in the 2wire. Set the linkstation on a static ip address, set port 9000 for the nas internal and external port when setting up webaccess. Then call at&t (I'm assuming because they usually hand those out) and have them help you forward port 9000 to the ip address that you set the linkstation on.
Thanks with Singtel, will give them a call
Here ya go Jotin might help you understand a bit more...
Its the only solution I have found when your running a two wire or a modem/router. Remember when you have a device like that your pretty much running through two firewalls.
I know what double natting is Josh, but hes not doing that... 2Wires are modems and routers together.... So I do not see why you are even mentioning double natting. The 2wire is his only device. Internet, 2wire, then linkstation....
You two sound like an old married couple lol :-)
: 0 !! lol
