December 7, 200718 yr Ok so heres my network layout. http://i19.tinypic.com/869pk76.jpgThe goal is gettin the NAS device to work from the LAN but also from the WAN. The NAS has a built in ftp server. So thats the goal to get working from LAN and WAN. Now, the ftp works connecting via 192.168.1.4. But when trying from the outside world it doesnt work. Even when forwarding port 21 to 192.168.1.4 from the main router(192.168.1.1)The only way ive gotten it to work, which i find this weird. Is when i plug a second cat5 cable into the WAN port of hte NAS and then configure that to have a static IP of 192.168.1.5, and forward to that ip.

December 11, 200718 yr foward port 20 and 21 to the NAS, both are required for FTPport 20 is for the data and port 21 is flow control i believe, then you shouldnt need to bother with the WAN side of the NAS box Edited December 11, 200718 yr by eyeball
December 12, 200718 yr Author doesnt matter eyeball, couldnt make any connection to it from the outside without setting up the wan side too.
