Title: Remote Management
Post by: Nhoyb on October 26, 2009, 12:06:33 AM

Hi all.

Is it possible to change the port used in DNS-323 to access remote web management?

By default its in port 80; I'd like to move it somewhere else.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't appear to be, I don't see any settings for that.  Why do you want to change it?

If you're trying to do this through a router, many routers offer the capability to translate incoming ports.

Yea he's right! Just do the port forwarding on your router~

Our network is very crowded. Port 80 is already in use, I'm planning to move it; say... 8080?

Hoping that someday D-Link will update its firmware for its nas for options like this.

Do port forwarding. So you can choose any port you want on the outside but then it will send the traffic to port 80 on your internal ip.

All the port forwarding does is takes an incoming request and forwards it based on the rules. So lets say you want it on 8080..

So you would setup the incoming port as 8080 then set the internal port as 80 and point it the ip of the DNS-323.

What you're describing is not port forwarding, but port translation, and it is not available on all routers.
