Hello, i have been using the airport disk to share my Hard drive both in network and across the net (via dynamic dns)
using afp://servername:port i am able to connect from every mac with internet access

however, I cannot get it working on windows,
if I am in network, i can do \\server\share but if i try using either the dynamic dns name, or the real ip address it wont be able to connect

i've read that the syntax can be \\username:pass@server\share but that did not yield any results as well

is anyone familiar with such a setup? or do I have to go through any steps to get this to work (remotely) on windows?
