    Hi

    Looking for advice on using Airport Extreme

    I have it connected to my UPC modem and have created Wireless N/W

    I have attached a HDD to it and when I log into the extreme, I can see the drive, but I cant see it when I am on my mac. I have told it to share over the WAN, I have enabled file sharing by account and added in an account to use

    I assume I should be able to see it as I normally would if I plugged it in directly to my mac

    How do I actually Access the Extreme and the drive from work?

    Is it via IP ?

    Where does the UPC modem come into play? do I connect to it and then the Extreme

    Am lost here so any help appreciated

    I feel that I am missing something very basic but simple

    Cheers....DT

    EDIT:

    I am now able to see the HDD on my mac

    The big Q now, is how to access it remotely from somewhere like work

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    I think you need a Static IP for your home, otherwise you won't be able to find the IP address of your home network and thus clients connected to this. I might be wrong though?

    Use dyndns.org instead of a static IP
