Hi everyone! I'm going to move with my girlfriend next week to a own appartment, but i'm going to be nice to my parrents and leave my NAS with them. (they using boxee to watch movies from nas) And...
The instructions in the link work for any ReadyNAS. The setup I posted is what I use on my Pro-6, as well as my NV+, duo, and RN102.
On ddns - You first need to register with a ddns service. Some are free, many are not.
Most newer routers allow you to configure ddns in their UI. The services usually also have a PC app you can install on your parent's PC. Both those options might be easier for you than modifying the linux config in the NAS. Note that in all cases, the ddns client is identifying the public IP address of your parent's router, and the ddns server then assigns a name to that. DDNS lets you reach the router, the port forwarding configuration in the router forwards the connection through the router to the NAS.
