Re: Linksys NAS200 Network Storage adapter

Hi
You are mixing few issues that are somewhat independent.
Main use of NAS is the storage File for your private Network.
Some NAS' provide also the capacity to configure an ftp server.
Connecting to any device on a private LAN through the Internet is done similarly and there are few options.
Static IP makes it easy to be found on the Internet, but does not resolve the issue of Routing the traffic to the NAS.
The Routing pass your Internet Router is based on Port Opening toward your NAS' ftp server.
In order to work well the NAS must have Static IP, otherwise the port opening might get confused and the traffic would not reach the NAS
Almost all NAS' you set the IP to whatever is needed to fit to your current IP subnet scheme.
These two page where written for another devices but the principle is exactly the same for NAS.
This page concerns the connection through the Internet, http://www.ezlan.net/myip.html
The second half of this page show the idea of internal Routing from the Internet to the Device, http://www.ezlan.net/vnc.html

Does anyone know anything about the Linksys NAS200 Network Storage adapter?
I'm using WinXP-Home with a Linksys WRT54G v5 Wireless DSL Broadband Router.

The storage adapter holds (2) SATA drives, I understand other remote PC's can access this via web browser or ftp using passwords. Supposedly, other users can upload and/or download files to and from the storage adapter based on permissions I set up for them.

Is there anything else $$ needed to accomplish this?
Is the TZO DNS Dynamic DNS service required to do basic file shares between remote PC's?
The TZO software is embedded in the NAS200. Is this really needed?

Thanks for any advice!
