does anyone know if i can connect to a lacie ethernet drive from a remote location (home on wireless).
the drive is not connected to a computer though, only the router.

short answer yes apparently. make sure it's on though.

if you don't have a static IP, you need to use something like dyndns to track your external IP. you also need to forward a port on your router to access the drive on the other side

what does forward a port mean?
- probably means you aint going to be doing it.airey

...for example if you are using Apple File Sharing you need to set port forwarding for port 548 to point at the LAN IP address of the ethernet disk.

Hopefully you have a simple port forwarding setup page in your router control panel (and read the Help).

a billion modem/router... forget the model name
