I have a linkstation 320gig and i installed the updated firmware which is supposed to allow web access as i was told by a buffalo rep. I setup my router to forward port 9000 and i went to the IP of the linkstation to enable web access and enter port 9000 as the external port. Now I'm able to access the linkstation locally from buffalonas.com, but externally it will not connect. Any help would be appreciated.
Side note:
I have 2 routers...on the first router i forwarded port 9000 to my second router and on the second router i forwarded port 9000 as well with the linkstation IP.
You have 2 routers and you port forwarded on both? That means you have two NAT tables running at the same time. That's not good and that's probably why it's not working.
I use this setup for a number of things that i have connected to the second router...slingbox being one of them and the and i can access my slingbox from anywhere using the same setup and port forwarding as i listed above.
what do you suggest I do? I don't want to move the linkstation to the first router...plus its a g router....
Here it is again another Linkstation EZ LS-L320GL web access issue it has bveen well documented in several posts here is one of mine

Buffalo needs to redo firmware 2.01 it is bloody broken you will be able to login remotely Unsecurely. This is because the dudes at buffalo forgot to put the ability in to add users in there firmware :smileymad: Therefore you cannot log in securely
The firmware needs to be fixed been waiting 6 weeks now for new firmware wehat a joke
Isn't this getting a little off topic? Can anyone help me with my original issue??
if i replace the first router with a switch, will that fix this problem?
It may, but that would be the same as putting your router into bridge mode. You don't want two NAT tables on the same network.
well i got rid of my second router and added a switch and now it works...but i have a different issue not related...when i click on buffalo nas navigator and i want to do anything like change the time or change the IP it asks for a password...nothing i type in works...i tried "password", i tried leaving it blank....i can't even change the password becuase i don't know what the default is....
