How to Find ReadyNas Remotes Web Address it connects to.
I am using Readynas Remote with my ReadyNas Duo V1 and was wondering if there is a way to find out what the external Web address is that Readynas Remote connects to.
The reason i would like to know this is so that I can watch movies on my Apple TV 2 from the Duo using Infuse 2.
People have done this type of thing, but need to know the Web address is, as shown below from the Infuse Forum.
"I can access my NAS based media by forwarding the SMB port (445) to my NAS in my router settings.
Once you have done that then you can point inFuse at the external address of your router to access files on your NAS and it will functon just as it would on your local network."
One problem I have is that I cannot access the router to set the SMB port (Virgin SuperHub in Modem Mode feeding a Apple Time capsule) but I think it should still connect ok.

- Knowing the ReadyNAS remote address would not help you. ReadyNAS remote is a closed VPN.
If your Apple TV is on your home network, then you don't need to forward any ports. SMB (445) is already available throughout your home network - all you need to do is enable CIFS/SMB on the media share(s).
The person you are quoting was accessing SMB over the internet, not on their home network. What they did creates significant security issues (and some ISPs block port 445 - if either end of the connection uses an ISP that does that you cannot use that approach no matter how you set the router). - Ok, thanks for that
