I've been successfully able to configure remote secure access
to my DNS-321 using an ssh tunnel from Windows XP SP3
so I can access my DNS-321 volume(s) at home from the
office network. The main information on how to do this is here:
http://www.blisstonia.com/eolson/notes/smboverssh.php
Summary:
1. Create a loopback network connection of type
Microsoft Loopback Adapter
and assign it a (preferably non-routable) IP address
(e.g. 10.0.0.1)
2. Create an ssh tunnel for TCP port 139 (SMB) between
the DNS-321 and the new network connection. I used
cygwin, but puTTY, myEnTunnel, and other solutions will
probably work fine. My script to create the tunnel looks
like this:
ssh -f -N -l <myUserName> <myRemoteAddress> -L 10.0.0.1:139:<DNS321_IP_addr>:139
This creates an SSH tunnel through an ssh server running
on my home network (e.g. a linux machine) accessible to
the internet at <myRemoteAddress> port 22 to the DNS321.
3. Create a network place (in My Network Places) for
your remote SMB share accessed as \\10.0.0.1\Volume_1
It took a little work, but I can now access my NAS remotely
as though it were on the local network!
Follow the instructions on the blisstonia site carefully...every
detail is important including disabling File and Printer Sharing for
Microsoft Networks (uncheck the box) on the new loopback
network connection.
Good luck!
