Accessing Two External Storage Devices On One Wireless Router
Feb 5, 2012
We have a D-Link DIR655 wireless router on our network. I have purchased two Seagate 1TB network storage units and would like to have one for me and one for my wife. It seems that the router will not support two, because they try to access the same port. How can I plug these two storage units to the router and have access for each of us to one device?
I have two devices in my office which both need to be accessible externally. One is an FTP server (Hermstedt Stingray), the other is a NAS drive (Lacie). I don't have a static IP so have instead configured an account with DYNDNS. My understanding is that by using this method, only one device will be ever be accessible because of the one single dynamic IP. Is this correct? Or is there a way of configuring something somewhere (DYNDNS, router etc) so that both my devices can be accessed externally.
I have a 1TB Western Digital drive connected to my home EA4500 router. Connecting to media server using SMB protocol (192.168.1.1) works fine. I am moving abroad for an extended amount of time, though, so I would also like to connect to this USB drive using FTP. Using the new Cisco Connect Cloud interface, I have enabled FTP sharing for the USB storage device with port 21 and using standard UTF-8 encoding. Whenever I try to connect to the FTP server using my router login credentials, I get the following error message:"There was a problem connecting to the server xx.xxx.xxx.xx. This file server will not allow any additional users to log on. Try to connect again later"
I have connected my LaCie rugged drive to the router and would like to use it as backup storage and as a way to stream video to my PS3.When I go to my advanced settings for the router and go to the storage heading I can see my LaCie and its specifications. There is a button next to it that says "claim", which I press, but nothing happens.I don't have the option to create a shared folder, and I can't access the drive from my Mac.On a somewhat related note, I've enabled the media server and can find it on my PS3, but there is nothing in the root folders. How do I put stuff (movies, music,etc.) into these root folders?
I recently bought EA3500 router. I am not able to hook up 2 storage external HDD and 1 USB printer usnig the router.I am connecting all 3 to a USB hub which i am connecting to the router.
Region : NewZealand Model : TL-WR1043ND Hardware Version : V1 Firmware Version : 3.13.12 Build 120405 Rel.33996n
I've plugged in a USB flash drive and enabled shared storage on my TL-WR1043ND router. With "Access shared storage with password" unticked, I can access the share using both my Windows 7 Laptop and Motorola Defy+ (with ES File explorer) and successfully play any Music off of the network share using the Android App, ES File explorer.
If I enable "Access shared storage with password" and attempt to log in using any of the user accounts I've set up on the device, I will be able to access the shares using the credentials on my Windows 7 Machine, but not with my Motorola Defy+, instead I will simply receive "Login failure". I'm Picking it has something to do with the network share type?
I am wondering if all routers that have a USB port to which network storage can be attached, support the functionality to enable that storage to be accessed from outside the network. If this is true how (in a conceptual sense) can the router be configured to do this and what are the security implications?
Cable modem linksys WRT320N router Dlink 10 port gigabit switch 3 wired desktops networked printer/scanner external D Link Share Center 3 wireless devices
I cannot see the share center Drives on my laptop unless I plug in. Would I need to simply plug the storage drive into the router instead of the switch? Will that affect the rest of the network?
on another note, what is the best way to test my computer to computer connection speeds?
Just upgraded my system. I am using D-Link 615 as access point hardwired LAN to LAN to ActiveTec MI424WR N capable Verizon Fios Wireless Modem/Router. The Fios Router is set up with WPA2 security. Intend on having three 615s as Access Points off of ActiveTec. Have a number of wireless devices accessing the network. Have followed instructions from manual to use 615 as Access Point, disabling UPnP and the DNCP Server function on the 615. My ActiveTec IP address is 192.168.1.1 and I changed the 615 to 192.168.1.50. I can type this IP address in my browser and get to the 615 set-up.
I have tried a couple different options in naming the SSID on the 615 set-up. If I name the SSID on the 615 the same as the ActiveTec router, when I go to Connect to a wireless signal where there is overlap, there are two signals that one can connect to, named the same SSID, the Fios is WPA2 secured and the 615 is not. Shouldn't these all be on one SSID? It seems that I have two different networks (different SSIDs) instead of one (rather than the 615 simply serving as an extension of the Fios router as a wired remote access point) with different security protocols (WPA2 and None). The SSID name almost seems meaningless. If I name the 615 SSID the same as the Fios router SSID or something different, I still have the option of selecting one SSID that is secure and one that isn't. If I try to connect to the SSID name associated with the 615 I can get on without providing a password.How do I make it so that one can walk around and go from one area to the next and seamlessly move to the best signal? I did read to select different sets of channels for each access point.
Router: F7D8301 v1 (firmware is up to date)I recently plugged a 2tb external hdd into one of the usb ports of the router. I have the video mover box checked and when it is, I can see the LaCie hard drive under network locations drive z in My Computer (Windows 7). I can open it and explore it, and see the media on the drive. But when I use one of the DLNA devices in my house (Vizio smart tv, Roku, and PS3) the only drive that shows up is the router's root file "Play N600 HD Dual video oot" not the LaCie drive or any of the contents. Is there any way to share the contents of the USB drive with these devices?
I recently purchased the dir-655 router, and am impressed by it's speed. I had no problems configuring the router to my liking, and have found that all of my wireless devices communicate with it flawlessly.
However, my main reason for purchasing this router was for the USB port. I had hoped to connect my 2TB external drive and have it accessible by all wireless devices in my home. To my understanding, the USB port relies on the use of the Shareport Utility. I've installed the Shareport Utility to my laptop for wireless access to my media files for streaming.
Here's my problem. How can I access my media on my external HDD connected to the dir-655 with Apple TV2? I've read several options for PS3 users... and they all seem to involve leaving the pc/laptop running. I would ultimately like to bypass the necessity of leaving my laptop on... but if that's not a possibility, I can live with it being left on.
Therefore, is it possible to access the external drive connected to the dir-655 with my Apple TV 2 by using the laptop as a bridge? Can I access the content via Apple TV by using Windows SMB just as I currently do to access media stored on my laptop?
To summarize, I want to have access to the media on my external drive connected to the dir-655 via Apple TV2.
I want to know whether NAT loop back is possible with the RV220W router/firewall, or when can we expect a firmware update that addresses this?For terminology sake, what I mean is that I've got a rule that maps HTTP/S to 192.168.1.2. However, when accessing my external ip from an internal ip, I don't get routed to 192.168.1.2.
I have a mail server, with external access which works fine for external access thorugh our router (a 1941). I have a laptop which connects to a wireless network that is inside our router. When attempting to navigate to the webmail or use outlook, it cannot connect.
The laptop is configured to access the mail through the external path as it would be offsite occasionally.
I think the problem seems to be that the traffic is not leaving the router to come back internally. The laptop can ping the external address ok.
I read about something called hairpinning - is this what i need to be looking at?
I have N600 HD Wireless dual band N Router. have successfully installed the router on wireless mode, however I have the following problem in accessing the storage devices connected to the Router.I can see the storage devices connected to the Router in the "Belkin USB Print and Storage center", but when I double click to browse the devices, it does not open up.
I have a Cisco 5505, 2 sites that are internal, 1 external IP (dhcp from cable modem). While on my laptop, ipad, iphone, I cannot access the server via it's external IP address. I MUST use the internal IP in order to access this site. I have heard of hairpinning, internal dns server(don't really want this).
Recently I'm having issues with accessing local services via external IP. Short description of configuration:
- sub.mydomain.com pointing to my external IP.
- few web services running on my local server with reverse proxy on Apache 2
- firewall on router enabled
- ips on router disabled
- single port forwarding: WAN 80->Lan 443, WAN 443->LAN 443
- accessing my services via sub.mydomain.com/service1, sub.mydomain.com/service2, etc
- I had to create a new rule in internet access policy allowing LAN, any, any to
Basicaly if I go no matter if I type http or https I will be redirected on 443. That configuration has beed working without any issues for a month. Recently I have increased the amount of DHCP users and suddenly it's not working any more. I can still access my services from outside but not from LAN.Restarting router does the trick for a while,sometimes for few minutes, sometimes longer.Enabling IPS is the way to go but then I'm limited to around 22Mbit/s. I have no idea what happend.What I can't understand that it was working, suddenly it's stopped and there are two solutions, either to enable IPS or to restart router?
we recently upgraded from an RVS4000 router which didn't have this issue.
the problem; Internal users from Site A cannot access the external owa address.From Site A i can successfully ping both the external/internal IP addresses/names and they resolve correctly, including pinging the address ('mail.company.com") resolves correctly to the external ip address.
I have a Netgear modem/router [DGN1000] (192.168.0.x) that serves as a the router for network 1 and also as the internet gateway. I have a Cisco [E4200] (192.168.1.x) router connected to the Netgear modem via the WAN port on the Cisco. This serves as the router for network 2.
DHCP is turned on for both routers. I can access all devices on network 1 using any device o network 2 including the Netgear modem configuration page, but I cant access any device on network 2 from network 1. Is it possible to have access to devices from both networks? [URL]
We are using acs version 4.2.0 build 124 on windows server 2003. Our domain controller has been upgraded from 2003 to windows 2008 R2.Now we are facing following error in ACS authentication for accessing our devices.Error: AUTH 06/09/2012 11:55:40 E 1810 3316 0x8f21 External DB [NTAuthenDLL.dll]: Windows authentication FAILED (error 1326L)if we restarted services of ACS server then users get authentiated fine.
here, am used to the RouterSwitch CLI but been asked to set up an ASA 5505 8.4.Quite simply I am trying to at least test out a static PAT from an external source to an internal server in a test environment and no matter whether I set it up as an auto-nat or a twice-nat whenever I run a packet tracer I end up with the same error. This is the packet-tracer I am running-packet-trace input outside tcp 80.80.80.80 3389 10.240.0.10 3389
Phase: 5 Type: NAT Subtype: rpf-check Result: DROP Config:nat (inside,outside) source static server publicIP service RDP RDP Additional Information:
[code]....
Now I have a couple of questions initially. I have made the presumption that packet-tracer does not look at any external devices while running - as in as long as the ports are up it doesn't matter what is on the end of them for testing purposes? Is there anything I am missing?I have this morning wiped the config and have simply set up the adapters, a default route and twice nat and am not sure why I keep getting the error. I am sure it is something very simple and I'm being a massive donut!
I have installed my new E4200 and it works beautifully. I have several wirelss adapters and a few wired connections through powerline adapters. I also have a second VPN router attached to the 4200.I can see the wireless connected devices with the associated IP addresses. If I plug a laptop directly into the Cisco, I can of course see it.However, I can see none of the devices attatched to the powerline devices? I have a securty cam connected via the powerline and want to know the IP address. I checked with cisco technical support via chat and they said it is impossible. I have used 2 previous routers with the same configuration and can see all devices.
I updated my E3200 to 1.0.04 to try to resolve a wireless dropping issue. Now the connected USB storage no longer responds correctly (very delayed if connecting at all). When I try to provision new storage via the routers admin page, I do not get the permissions page.
I have the N900 model and would like to connect a hard drive via usb. The router can see the external hard drive but the problem I run into is the HD uses a password to open it.
When I connect my WD My Book Essential 3TB (which is listed as officially compatible with the E4200), I get the following screen:
The E4200 does not detect my hard drive, nor is there a bar saying "detecting".
My problem started when I could not create any new folders through finder. I had to store new files in the root folder. Every time I entered the admin password, I got a message saying I did not have sufficient permission to perform such a task. I then went on to create a new user within the admin group and continued getting the same message. Finally, I formatted the drive directly through my computer and reconnected. And now my HDD is not detected at all.
I have an iMac running OS X Lion. The HDD is question has been formatted to Mac OS extended (journaled).
I have an e4200v2 with latest firmware. I have changed the administrator password from "admin" to a password of my own.I have recently added a USB hard drive to the router, and it says that admin password to access the share drive is the same as the admin password as the router, but it is not. The password to acces the USB drive is "admin" and there is nowhere to change this password to something secure.
I am using Window 7 and the WRT610N router. I got a bufflao 1 TB USB harddisk connected to the router.My PC can access to the Harddisk. However, but my pc showing the USB harddisk is full. I checked, there are less than 200GB file on the disk. why is that?
I have my WRT350N setup. all computers within my LAN can access my usb storage device. I can not access my usb storage device using a computer outside my LAN.
if you log on to 99.225.89.229:8080 it will ask you for user id and pass word to log into my router.
if you try to log on to 99.225.89.229:21 it wont even connect asking you for a user id and password.
my guess is the router is not allowing port 21 to be accessed, but I'm not sure.
