I need to know how to make a harddrive on my airport extreme accessible at work with the drive being at my house. I know this is a easy question for some of you but i am having a heck of a time with it.
Ok so i was a little vega on what i was trying to do i guess. Sorry i was limited on time for the first post. So i have a macbook air that i use for work and home i have a 2TB hard drive hooked up through usb that is on my airport extreme at home, i back up files for work and home on it. At my house i can connect wirelessly to it to update my back ups. I want to be able to connect from work to be able to back up and retrieve things from the drive. How would i go about doing this?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
I’m no expert in the world of playing with a Airport , but without some kind of funny hardware tunneling setup I would think you would need a machine of some form left at home in order to remote access it.
You will need dynamic DNS and port forwarding setup with your router. Know much about this?
i know about the port forwarding but nothing about the DNS.

Dynamic DNS is basically a way to always know your home IP address from the outside. Your ISP might change it at any time and, with a Dynamic DNS, your router can periodically tell your Dynamic DNS what its new IP address is. This way, you just type in mattcox.dyndns.com (for example) when you would otherwise need to know your router’s IP address. Pick a free Dynamic DNS service out of this list and then follow the rest of the steps in that Method #2 from the apple forum I linked to earlier. It’ll explain how to set your APE to report it’s IP address to your new DDNS. Then it explains how to log into that server from the internet.
Good luck,
Ian

Forgot to mention that there might be a way to do that a lot easier if you’re a Mobile Me subscriber. There’s a setting you’d have to change in your APE to allow sharing the drive.
