Western Digital Net Center - Accessing it from the internet?

Question

Hi,

I recently bought a Western Digital Net Center (NAS Drive). I plugged it into my wireless router and was able to access the hard drive wirelessly from my laptop. I was able to copy my files into the new NAS drive and I thought that was cool.

Now, my challenge is that I don't know how to access this drive from a remote computer via the internet. As long as I am inside my home wireless network, I am able to access my hard drive. But, if I was using a public computer or a computer at my friend's place, how do I access my Net Center hard drive?

Answer 1

You have to put the Storage devices IP address in the DMZ on your router so it can be accessed from the internet.
