FTP setup = Fail (so far)

Hey all,

Well it's a good thing no one reads this or they would realize I didn't post on Monday (Family Day) like I said I would.

I recently purchased a NAS drive to hook up to my home network so that I can access media files on all of my gaming machines (more convenient than lugging DVDs and CD up and down stairs). Also, my main laptop is starting to act up so I want a second back up of it (besides my Seagate external 500GB auto backup that I do not fully trust) I bought a D-Link DNS-323 with two 2TB drives and set them up in RAID1 configuration (anything that saves to the first 2TB drive automatically mirror saves to the second drive as a backup). So far it's great!

I was digging through the setup menus of the DNS-323 and noticed that it could act as an FTP server as well. Awesome, now I can save everything to my NAS drive and have access to it from work!

So far I have set up what I believe are the proper settings for my FTP server on my NAS drive. Also, I have set up a host name for myself so that I can direct it to my home router to access my drive from work. Unfortunately I am missing something as I cannot access my host/ domain name on the internet. I think I'm miss-typing something.

Now I consider myself fairly geeky but my computer skills are a bit lacking. I have many IT friends who could do this in their sleep, and I know I could turn to them for help. I'm hoping to use this as an excuse to broaden what little computer skills I do posses. Also, it is a good exercise in my research skills and figuring things out for myself.

I'll give it a few more tries and search some forums before I turn to the big guns for advice. It is really nice to have friends to count on :)

That's all for now,
CYA!
