So, FTP is the way.

But where would VPN enter on this equation? Would it be just some kind of "security layer", if desired? I mean, VPN have nothing to do with allowing remote access to the 323's filesystem?

A VPN or Virtual Private Network allows you to connect either a single computer to a network at another physical location as if they were both in the same place, or one network to another network at a different location again, as if they both in the same place.

You could - if you so chose use your VPN router to connect in this fashion - or - you could use ftp, and you could even use ftp over a VPN.

VPNs are generally considered to be the secure way of doing things, but as with all security systems, the strength lies in how they are setup.

Hopefully some of you folks are still around and monitoring this thread. I am having the same problem accessing the dns-323 through a netgear vpn. But only when I have the windows firewall turned on. No problem with the firewall off. So 100% its the windows firewall. The machine accessing the dns-323 are all XP pro with Trend Micro Titanium, titanium use the windows firewall.
So in the posts here there are referances to allowing the other subnets in the firewall. Question is: How, where is that change made? Under File and printer sharing? In f&ps I see that tcp 139 and 445 is configured for subnet only as is udp 137 and 138. Change scope gives me some selections, which one? I still need all the other systems to be able to access this machine using file sharing.
