Problem accessing files on Network Hard Drive over internet using either HTTP or FTP

Asked by spamsoft in Internet File Sharing Software, File Servers, Remote Access Software

Tags: network, drive, over, internet, accessing

The problem I am having an issue with is a Freecom FSG-3 Network 500GB HDD which is a multifunction network device, incoporating such features as a HDD, Media Server, Mail Server, Web Server, FTP Server, Print Server etc. The issue I am having is accessing the files I have stored on theis FSG-3 over the internet by either using a web browser or an FTP client. It is significant to mention that I have forwarded the ports 21 + 80 on my router to the FSG's static IP address. Please see below for the specificatiion and my network setup. Also, here is the link to the FSG's own wiki which may give you some information in case you have any queries about this hardware

http://www.openfsg.com/index.php/Main_Page

In relation to the funtionality of my FSG-3, I am able to access it over my LAN via Windows Explorer, HTTP and FTP with no problems. When I try to access it over the internet by eg. entering my Public IP address (in the form xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz:80 into the browser address field) it takes me to modem/router login dialog box 'Home Gateway' and does not appear to forward me to the FSG-3. FTP also does not work over the internet either when I try using either an FTP client or by typing in the ftp address into my browser.

Here is my current configuration:

My LAN is setup as follows:

INTERNET>CONEXANT MODEM/ROUTER>FSG WAN PORT WIRED TO A MODEM/ROUTER LAN PORT

Modem/ Router IP 10.0.0.2
Modem/ Router Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0

I have forwarded ports 21 + 80 on my Conexant router (for both TCP + UDP) to 10.0.0.3

FSG WAN Configuration:

Fixed IP Address 10.0.0.3
Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway 10.0.0.2
DNS Servers 10.0.0.2

FSG LAN Configuration (should these settings matter as my FSG is wired to my modem/router via the FSG WAN port?):

IP Address 192.168.1.1
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Workgroup MSHOME
Router Name FSG

In addition to the above, I have started all of the necessary services, ie. HTTP, FTP (have not enabled the SSL encryption for this) and CIFS/ SMB file sharing is also running.

I have also started the DHCP server which is setup with the following credentials:

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS Server 10.0.0.2
IP Address Range 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.200
IP Release Time 12hrs

Is there anything wrong with my settings? Or is this a router issue or setting to be resolved? However, do the setting for the LAN + DHCP server actually matter considering the FSG-3 is wired via the WAN port to the modem/router? In addition, I am not attaching any wired devices to the FSG LAN ports.
