How to set up the plug-in USB drive for outside access via FTP and HTTP ?
I already registered and received the host name and IP address from MyNetGear/No-IP. The DDNS status shows "succesfull" and I can ping the host name and the IP address from any computer. I also set up the external FTP and HTTP access for the USB drive by checking the boxes. But when I tried to access the host name or the IP address, it kept failing. The error says "took too long to respond". Is there some steps that I missed ? Please help.

I already went through that setup. IThe USE drive is set up for external FTP and external HTTP using no-ip dynamic DNS IP address. The issue I have is my Netgear N300 does not respond to the external FTP or external HTTP. Is there some setting on N300 that I have to enable to make the N300 respond ?
