Finally managed to get my Thecus N5200 working with router

Hi,

I changed my router and after some very simple fiddling, managed to get my N5200 working. So now, the next step is to set it up with my dynDNS accout..... Thanks for all your help in my previous troubles blue68f100!

So I've got my DynDNS domain all set up and it access my router management page. Can anyone help me with what happens next?

Thanks!

You should connect to the users files not the admin section. Have you turned on FTP? If so you need to add a security rule (port forward 21) to the N5200. Just remember from internal access for ftp you need to set your client transfer mode to active. When you try connecting from out side you need it set as passive to get through the router FW. You can use this site to test you connection http://www.g6ftpserver.com/en/ftptest

If you are using IE you can connect using ftp://userid:PW@domainname(dyndns name)/share/user . I prefer using FileZilla clinet software eliminates some of MS bloat. Some systems you do not need to add share/user and some you do. Some use the userid to connect them to the proper share.

Test locally before attempting to try from the out side. Once your confident that is working, then try the outside connection.

If you have trouble from the outside go to site that scans for open ports like www.grc.com or use a utility like NetworkActiv port scanner. You can run it from you local pc and test for open ports by entering your dyndns address.

 

Thanks very much! I'll give this a try!
