NAS via the Internet
Overview
If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and
Broadband modem, you can make the NAS available via the Internet. Features available to
Internet users include:
• Using a Web browser to view and download files.
• Remote management
Making the NAS available via the Internet
If your LAN is connected to the Internet via a Router or Gateway, you can make the NAS
available from the Internet.
No changes to the NAS configuration are required, unless you wish to use a port
number other than the default value of 80 for Web connections.
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming HTTP connections (and
optionally, IPP connections) to the NAS. This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or
Virtual Servers, and is illustrated below.
Connecting via the Internet
Page 59
• The default port number for Web browser connections is 80. If you prefer to use a
different port number, you can specify the port number on the NAS System screen. The
"Web" entry for /Port Forwarding / Virtual Server must then use the port number specified
on the NAS System screen.
• To connect to the NAS, Internet users need to know and use the Internet IP address of
your Router/Gateway. (If the port number is not 80, they also need to know the port
number.)
• If you have a domain name, users can connect using the domain name instead of the IP
address.
If your Router/Gateway supports Dynamic DNS, you can use a domain name even if you
get a different IP address every time you connect to your ISP. Check the documentation
of your Router/Gateway for further information.
Using your Web Browser from the Internet
This is identical to using your Web browser from the LAN. See “Using the Web File Sharing”
for details.
But remember:
• You must use the Internet IP address to connect to the NAS, NOT the LAN IP address.
• If the port number used by the NAS has been changed from the default (80), you must
specify the correct port number when you connect.
For example, if the port is 8080, and the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52, enter the
following as your browser's Address or Location:
HTTP://203.70.212.52:8080
Page 60
Printing via IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
To print to the NAS via the Internet, the port used for IPP (TCP port 631) must be associated
with the NAS. See Making the NAS available via the Internet earlier in this chapter for details.
The NAS is an IPP Server. To use IPP, your PC must be an IPP client. Windows 2000 and
XP have built-in support for IPP, so there is no need to use the provided IPP client program.
IPP Setup - Windows 2000/XP
1. Start the Add Printer wizard.
2. Select Network Printer, and click "Next" to see the Locate your Printer screen, as shown
below.
Windows 2000 - Locate your Printer
3. Select Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your Intranet, and enter the URL of the
NAS as follows.
http://ip_address:631/printers/printer_name
Where:
• ip_address represents the IP Address used to access the NAS. (As explained
earlier, this may be the Internet address of a Gateway, rather than the NAS itself.)
• printer_name is the name of the printer, as set on the NAS System screen.
• The other text is fixed, and can NOT be changed. It must be entered exactly as
shown, including the same case. (The path is case sensitive.)
Example:
http://203.70.212.52:631/printers/LKLKG974163_p1
Page 61
4. Click "Next".
If the connection can be established, and the printer on that port is on-line, the following
dialog will be displayed.
Windows 2000: No printer driver
5. Click "OK", and then select the printer manufacturer and model to match the printer
connected to the port on the IPP Server.
6. Click "Next", and complete the Wizard.
The IPP printer is now ready for use.
IPP Client Setup (Windows 9x, ME)
You need to install the supplied IPP client program, as follows:
1. Insert the NAS CD-ROM in your drive. If the program does not start automatically, run the
NAS_Setup.exe program in the top-level folder.
2. On the first screen, click the icon for IPP Client.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
IPP Client Configuration
1. Click the "Add IPP Port" icon. (In future, you can use the program entry created in the
Start Menu)
2. A screen like the following will be displayed.
IPP Port
Page 62
3. Configure this screen as follows:
IPP Server Enter the Internet IP address used to connect to the NAS, as follows.
http://ip_address:631/printers/printer_name
Where:
• ip_address represents the IP Address used to access the NAS.
(As explained earlier, this may be the Internet address of a
Gateway, rather than the NAS itself.)
• printer_name is the name of the printer, as set on the NAS
System screen.
• The other text is fixed, and can NOT be changed. It must be
entered exactly as shown.
Example:
http://203.70.212.52:631/printers/LKLKG974163_p1
Proxy Server If Internet access from your PC is via a Proxy Server, check Access
IPP Server via Proxy Server, and enter details of your Proxy Server.
(These will be the same as your Browser configuration, so check
your Browser settings.)
4. Click Save to create the IPP port on your system. You will see the following dialog:
Select Printer for IPP Port
5. Either selects an existing printer to use the new port, and click OK.
OR
a) Click the "Add New Printer" button to start the Add Printer wizard.
b) Complete the Wizard, installing the desired printer as a local pri nter on your PC.
c) When returned to this screen, select the new printer and click OK.
6. The selected printer is now associated with the remote NAS, and installation is complete.
Page 63
Changing the IPP Port Settings
After the IPP port is created, you can reach the IPP Port screen via the Windows Port
Settings button:
1. Open the Printers folder (Start - Settings - Printers)
2. Right-click the IPP Printer, and select Properties.
3. Locate and click the Port Settings button (on the Details or Port tab, depending on your
version of Windows).
Using the IPP Printer
The IPP Printer can be selected and used like any other Windows printer, but your Internet
connection needs to be active.
An NAS may be unavailable for IPP printing for any of the following reasons:
• It is powered off.
• The IP Address of the Router/Gateway for the remote LAN has changed.
• The Internet connection used by the IPP Server is down.
• Network congestion causes the connection attempt to time out.
Page 64
Remote Management
Connection via your Web browser from the Internet is the same as connecting via the LAN.
But remember:
• You must use the Internet IP address to connect to the NAS, NOT the LAN IP address.
• If the port number used by the NAS has been changed from the default (80), you must
specify the correct port number when you connect.
For example, if the port is 8080, and the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52, enter the
following as your browser's Address or Location:
HTTP://203.70.212.52:8080
Once connected to the NAS via the Internet, all the Web-based management features are
available.
However, the "Browse" button on the Shares screen only allows Web-based file browsing. (If
using Internet Explorer on Windows, LAN users can Browse shares using Wind ows Explorer.)
Page 65
Troubleshooting
This chapter lists some common problems, and the solution to them.
Problem 1:
Solution 1:
Problem 2:
Solution 2
The NAS Utility doesn't list any NAS Servers.
Check the following:
• The NAS is installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON and
startup is complete.
• Ensure that your PC and the NAS are on the same network segment. (If
you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
• Ensure that your PC has the TCP/IP network protocol loaded. In Windows,
this is done by using Control Panel-Network. If an entry for TCP/IP ->
Network card is not listed, use Add - Protocol - Microsoft - TCP/IP to add it.
You then need to select the new entry (TCP/IP -> Network card), click
Properties, and configure the IP Address tab.
• If your LAN has a DHCP Server, you can select "Obtain an IP Address
automatically".
• Otherwise, you must select "Specify an IP Address", and enter values
for IP Address and Subnet Mask. The IP Address range commonly
used is 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254, with a Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0. (The NAS Server's default IP Address is 192.168.0.2,
with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0). Remember that each device
needs a unique IP Address, and the same Subnet Mask.
The NAS is configured, but I can't find it in Network Neighborhood.
Try using Start - Find - Computer, and enter the NAS Server's name. If this
does not work, use Control Panel - Network to check the following:
Problem 3
Solution 3
• TCP/IP protocol is installed. If not, use Add - Protocol - Microsoft - TCP/IP
to install it.
• Check the network Bindings:
• Ensure the TCP/IP protocol is bound to your Network card (NIC).
Select your Network card, click Properties, and then the Bindings tab.
If TCP/IP is not bound (checked), check it.
• Ensure the TCP/IP -> Network card entry is bound to the Client for
Microsoft Networks service.
Select the TCP/IP entry for your Network Card, click Properties, and
then the Bindings tab. If Client for Microsoft Networks is not bound
(checked), check it.
• If you don't have a router, check that your IP Address is compatible with
the NAS Server's. This means it needs to be from the same address range
(e.g. 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254) and using the same Subnet Mask (e.g.
255.255.255.0)
• If you DO have a router, check that your Gateway IP Address is set
correctly. Ask your LAN administrator for the correct value.
When I click on an NAS folder icon in Network Neighborhood, I get prompted
for a password.
This can happen in the following situations:
• The Logon name you used on your PC is recognized by the NAS, but the
password is not. Simply enter your NAS password, or make your Windows
password the same as the NAS password.
Page 66
• The logon name you used on your PC is NOT recognized by the NAS, and
was converted to guest, with guest access rights. Ask the NAS
Administrator to create a user name for you. (Use the same name as on
your PC.)
• You do NOT have access permission for this share.
Ask the NAS Administrator to grant you access.
Note: Windows uses the Computer name, as shown on Control Panel -
Network - Identification, as the default Logon Name. But you can create a new
Windows logon name by merely entering a new name and password at the
Logon prompt.

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it
is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By
contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to
most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation soft ware is covered by the GNU Library General
Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom , not pri ce. Our General Public Licenses
are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can
change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these
things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to
ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the
recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that
there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on,
we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger
that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
Page 70
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution And Modification
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program",
below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the
Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is
addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made
by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to
the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along
with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer
warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thu s forming a work based
on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above,
provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and
the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is
derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License.
Page 71
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (o r else, saying that you
provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the
user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not
normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Progr am is not required to print an
announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for
other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by
you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works
based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a
work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other
work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the
following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge
no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable
copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source
code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the
program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For
an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus
Page 72
any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of
the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything
that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler,
kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place,
then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of
the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object
code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under
this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and
will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else
grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the
Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so,
and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works b a sed on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties
to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason
(not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of
this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program
at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
Page 73
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy
both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the
balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims
or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of
the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people
have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in
reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is
willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of
this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may
add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those coun tries, so that distribution is
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public
License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of
this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choo se any version ever
published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted
by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
Page 74
exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoti ng the sha ri ng and re use of soft ware generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHO UT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING,
Page 75
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WR ITI N G
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MO D IF Y AN D/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING REN DERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FA I L URE OF
THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
