how do I access my shares from outside my LAN
I need to access my shares from outside my LAN with a mac powerbook OS 10.7. My ISP told me I should use port 5900 and they activated it for me. I'm not sure what needs to be done on my readyNAS pro t...
One option is to set up either FTP or HTTPS to use port 5900 (which they have already opened for you). But the first question is whether ftp and/or https give you the interface you need. You should answer that first by giving them both a test drive on the lan.

readynas remote is also something try (and has the benefit that it needs no router config at all).
