Unable to access Photos II from outside my network
Folks, I’m confounded in terms of getting Photos II to be accessible from the Internet. My installation is as follows: • ReadyNAS Ultra6 with latest software upgrades for Photos II and firmware...
I am having nearly identically the same issue, but with a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 (Radiator 4.2.19). However, I am using a Netgear WNDR4000 router.
The error message is the same as the original user's. (of course my IP address is different) My ISP is Charter.
When I use an online IP port scan utility it reports that port 8086 is open. I have confirmed that the router shows the port is forwarded to the correct IP address (manually set) of the ReadyNAS on my local network (behind the router).
I would really like to get this to work. Any help is appreciated.
*** EDIT ***
I have not gotten rid or the error mentioned, but after several power recycles of router and ReadyNAS it appears to be working from outside my network. I don't know what the error means though since it appears that it is working. If I press diagnose I still get exactly the same error, but now I can get to albums from my friend's house.
