Hard Drive access over internet with Airport Extreme

[equisol]

Situation:
I would like to access a Hard drive attached via USB to my Airport extreme.
It works fine within my LAN.
Special consideration: I have a VOIP router (Linksys SPA-2102) that must be first in line to the internet. The configuration is as follows:

Internet ----------> VOIP Router -----------> Airport Extreme
IP 216.106.nnn.nnn 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.1.1:5009

I have a fixed IP address from my ISP

all internal devices have fixed IP addresses and access is controlled by mac address filtering (not really relevant).

My question is: what are the steps to set the AE so that I can access my hard drive via either afp or smb.

Any help is greatly appreciated[/FONT]

I can access my home network (all connected Macs) from outside just by connecting via AFP with my DynDNS host.

I don't specify a port when connecting, but do have 3283 and 5900 forwarded to my macmini.

I have a time capsule, but should be the same with an AE

yes, AE or TC is the same, but I have tried and cannot access anything using AFP. I go in a web browser and type afp://my.ip.add.nnn: port, and get the message that it cannot connect. All I need is to connect to the drive attached to the AE.

I followed it and now I'm able to access my AirPort Disk from anywhere that I have an internet connection on my MacBook Pro.

Nielsenius;

Thank you for the link. I think I did this already, but will start over and try again.

In Finder, Go > Connect to Server (Command-K). Type in your AFP there (try with and without appending a port). Once it connects, it should show your drive in the "shared" part of a Finder window.
