Hello,
My business partner and I are using a WD My Passport Extreme connected to an Airport Extreme as a poor mans shared drive as we work to try to get our new business off the ground. My partner is on a pc and I am on a mac and the shared drive solution works very well when we are accessing it from our local network.
We have just set up a vpn though and have been unable to access the shared drive remotely. The router we are using is the Linksys RVS4000. The airport is attached to the Linksys router and is running in bridge mode. We are able to establish a remote VPN connection to the RVS4000 when we are off-site, but we cant access the shared drive. We have attempted to map the drive when we are connected via VPN and cannot establish a connection. I suspect (but am just guessing) that the issue is that somehow I need to set up port forwarding from the RVS4000 to the IP address of our Airport but do not know what port number to use or really how to do that.
Any thoughts on what the fix is here?
Best,
Bryan
