Ignore the "New IP Address" field in www.dlinkddns.com site.

Only enable DDNS service on the TP router. Select Dyndns.org as the service provider and enter the domain name which you use in dlinkddns site, eg. yourname.dlinkddns.com, tick "Enable DDNS" and save the settings.

As for port-forwarding on TP router, enter service port 443 and the IP address of your NAS.

You may wish to test out if DDNS is indeed working from another Internet connection by doing a ping, eg. ping yourname.dlinkddns.com

Hello,

i'have done all the above, but I guess it stays a no go.  The pinging works when I do it from my pc, but when I do it from my office pc (which normally can not reach my network, even when it uses the same internet connection) it doesn't work.  the request times out.

No I have been checjin again with the ISP, and it appears that they by default block all ports below 1023. so also 443. 

Would this mean that there is no way I can reach my dns-320 from remote? 

Let me come back to my orignal goal; what I would like is for instance to be able to look at pictures which are stored on my dnas. Is there an option to somehow have the dnas recognise a port above 1023?

[albert]

If your ISP has indeed block a range of port numbers up to 1023 then a workaround would be to use non-standard port for secure http access. In this example, I used port 4430 for secure http access. Under Virtual Servers, it should look like this:

ID Service Port  Internal Port  IP Address    Protocol  Status
1  4430            443              192.168.x.x  ALL         Enabled

IP address 192.168.x.x refer to your actual NAS address. To access your NAS remotely, type: https://yourDDNS.dlinkddns.com:4430

[shodan]

I wanted to give this a try, but within the virtual server I can only choose the Service port.  I have now put 4430 in.  However, I can not specify an internal port.  This option is not available.

Has it something to do with port triggering?  I tried it anyhow, entering 4430 as triggering port, and 443 as incoming port and also the reversed enty, but also here, no success.

Can it also be in conflict with for instance the TLWR81N options for remote control or security management?

Sorry for all the questions and thank you for your persistence.

Guys,

I have been reading and talking and this is here is the case:

My TLWR841N  also has DHCP enabled so is also doing NAT I guess.  I have enabled DDNS in this router and what I have understood so far now is that it should have in fact been enabled in the CH6541E.
However, here I do not have the option  to do this.  The only thing I can do here is port forwarding above port 1023 and there is an option of DMZ.  Don't know if this is any good. 

Do I still have options to make it work anyway?

Thanks!

[shodan]

Hello,

Has everybody given up?  Any other option to explore.  What about this funplug and telnet?

Thanks

The only thing I can come up with, other than changing your modem to one that isn't locked if the following;
http://legends-league.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7457 and
http://www.tik.be/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13552
Which are a couple of fora concerned with your modem and some problems other had and worked round.  I don't know if they will be of any help to you but they just might.

I read the TL-WR841N v7 manual (page 53) and it clearly show that there are Service and Internal Port under Virtual Servers. Perhaps it could be due the current router firmware, do check and update to the latest version.

[shodan]

Albert,

Thanks one more for guiding me.

so, I now have update the firmware and this indeed makes sure I can set up an internal port as well.
I haven't been able to try the access just yet, but will try to do so as soon as possible.
I'll let you know what happened.

I'll cross my fingers.

Hi,

I've got some good news!  It finally works,.. I can reach the nas from remote but... I got stuck on the login screen now

If I use the SSL login from the wired PC, there is no issue, and the password is taken.  However, when I try to login from remote from external network, or wireless via my own network, it does not react when I key in my password.  I'm login in as admin, so without specifying any user. Any idea what this is about?
Btw, I also upgraded the firmwere to 2.03 (now my itunes server works as well)

Thanks

[albert]

I assumed you have upgraded the firmware for TL-WR841N router.

Do post a screen-shot of your port-forwarding entries.

[shodan]

Albert,
I'l struggling to get the snaphot on here, so I'll exactly type my entries:

ID: 1
Service port: 4430
Internal Port: 443
IP address: 192.168.8.60
Protocol: ALL
Status: Enabled

If I go into this one via 'modify', I also see common service port : "Select one" so nothing selected here.

I only have one entry

Does this helps?

[albert]

I have tested out using non-standard port for SSL and it doesn't work, apparently whatever port number (in this case, 4430) wouldn't be appended at the end of the URL. Also the current NAS firmware (2.03) doesn't work with other port-number, it will result in error page when changed.

However, using the same setup for port 80 worked. For example:

ID: 1
Service port: 8080   <-- use any port number above 1024
Internal Port: 80
IP address: 192.168.8.60
Protocol: ALL
Status: Enabled

To access NAS webUI remotely, type: http://yourDDNSdomain:8080

[shodan]

Hello Albert,

It finally worked!  Thank you so much for hanging in there and guiding me to to finish!  It is much appreciated.

I tested it, and I was able to connect to the NAS and reach the files on there. 

What I am still curious about: when I would like to access my photos for instance, I need the download picture by picture.  It is not like there is a kind of a photo viewer right?

Anyway, thanks again!

[albert]

You're welcome, glad to be of help.

Have you try Ajaxplorer, IIRC there is option to view picture/video.
