Synology NAS and WebDav
So, we have two synology NAS' on our network. We run one of them as a WEBDAV server for remote access through Net Drive 2. We're running it through the HTTPS port right now. We have another server on our network, synology NAS as well, that we would like to be able to remote into with WEBDAV as well.
Here lies the issue: the 1st NAS is using our public IP address and every time we try to map to the 2nd NAS, even with another port, it still forwards it to the 1st NAS. Any ideas on how we could use WEBDAV on both externally?

What's the firewall? When you say "with another port" are you changing the port on teh NAS, on the firewall, or both? When you've changed the port, what URL are you using to access it?
I have several Synology NAS's at the same WAN address, all serving WebDAV to the outside world.
You need to:
- Make sure each Synology is serving WebDAV on a different port.
- Make sure each Synology has a static IP address on your LAN (or is always assigned the same address via DHCP by your router).
- Make sure your router is forwarding each Synology's WebDAV port to that Synology.
- Make sure people trying to access your Synologies know which port to use to get to which Synology.
For example:
Say that you have set NAS1 to serve WebDAV via SSL on port 3006, and NAS2 to serve WebDAV via SSL on port 4006.
Your router must forward port 3006 to port 3006 at NAS1's address on the LAN, and must forward port 4006 to port 4006 at NAS2's address on the LAN.
And, your users must know which port to use to get to which Synology:
NAS1: \\YOURDOMAIN@SSL@3006
NAS2: \\YOURDOMAIN@SSL@4006
Of course, for SSL to work, each NAS will have to have an active SSL certificate.
etc.
