easiest way is probably set up your drive as an FTP server and enable forwarding for the FTP service on your linksys

How can i do that?
Hi
Is your hard disk a network attached storage? Does it have a web server in it ebaling you to access it using ftp.
Now as far as I under stood the pictures there is a way to configure ftp.
On theWan router forward the inbound traffic through port 21 to the Lan router and on the Lan router forward port 21 traffic to the IP address of your storage device.
Now you will be able to access the hard disk by typing ftp://ip address of the wan router.
FTP is not very secure as it sends password as clear text. Or why dont you map it to your workstation and access the workstation via rdp or some remote control??
Hope this helps

i can't acces to my WAN ROUTER.. Is a private company..
here's a decent tutorial on setting up a home FTP server :

You'll either need to have the IT personnel do what moon_blue 69 stated or move your hard drive to a location that you can control the Ports and use it there. or an alternative would be www.dropbox.com
I assume that your LAN router is the Linksys one check if its external interface (The one connecting to your WAN router) has a public ip address. I can see there is something like a webserver on 192.168.1.104 as that were http traffic is being forwarded. if it is the case then there is a chance that it will have a public ip if thats the case do it like you have done for port 80 on 192.168.1.104 this time forward the traffic on port 21 to the ip address of the NAS (your hard disk)
hope this helps

Exactly, my lan router is Linksys, the other router(wan) model 6211-i3-200, i have phisical access to it, but i can't change anything.. 192.168.104 is a ip Camara, but it never works from the web. I think The wan router is blocking something.
You cant do much about it then. On your workstation map the hard drive. use logme-in (free for personal use) or similar and access your workstation from anywhere. That way you will get access to your hard disk.

DropBox or logmein are a very good idea, but what happend when i turn off all of my computers and i want to watch my NAS?
Another thing, is my ISP is bloking the 80 port...

The above picture is from vista. If port 80 was blocked you wont be getting a dialog box like this. The process to do directly access your NAS is forwarding port 21 to NAS on all routers as I added in the first comment.

On theWan router forward the inbound traffic through port 21 to the Lan router and on the Lan router forward port 21 traffic to the IP address of your storage device.

What is the ip address you are geting on the external interface of your Lan router is it public?? That is the interface connecting from Lan to Wan. If its the case try forwarding port 21 on your linksys to the ip of the NAS

Im tired of this issue, please help me... I will made the respective change after i close this question

For what it's worth, that (reverse port forwarding) software requires UPnP to be enabled. If you can't get it to work, that's probably why (if the admin won't setup a port-forward, they likely don't have UPnP enabled on the WAN router, either).

If you have any suggestion??
