Hi,
As many others (hopefully), I have issues with connecting to an SMB share away from home...
I had it working at one point for me and two of my friends, but... Then we started being unable to connect other users.
*Cutting to the end just for a second here*
After all the troubleshooting that my skills can provide, I have found that it could be an issue with internet providers, Windows itself, or something completely different..
*back to real-time information*
I have an HP Proliant Microserver Gen8 standing in Denmark at my dads place, running 300/300 on a static IP address. Nighthawk R7000 router. Port forwards with my NAS device on the standard ports for SMB.
I moved to sweden back in february and had it working from there, since I had been connected previously with my PC. I guess at least?
I had some issues in the beginning with some restrictions on the network from the provider, this got fixed after a relay or something like that, got replaced with something much newer.
- It then worked fine for me.
I wanted to share my NAS folder to a couple of friends to help them keep track of their things and such, sharing movies, music, etc..
I have run out of ideas of what to do to get this working.. I need some expert help. :-(
I have started over completely (without re-installing the device) as good as I can away from the actual device.
- I can access it over the GUI in a browser no issues. Even with my A-record address that I have created because I always forget the WAN IP the device has.
As I am writing this at 3am, I'm tired and have given up a looong time ago.. If you need any information, or have any questions to be able to help me - Ask, and I will provide you with the information as I cannot think of what other information should be provided straight away.. :/
I really need some help...
Best regards
Winefield
