Map drive to share behind BSFSR41 router.

[themikehyde]

Hi,
I am trying to map a drive, from a WIndows 2K system, to a network share that is on a system that is behid a Linksys BEFSR41 router. The share is on the system that is in the DMZ. I have setup the forwarding to pass UDP ports 137 & 138 and TCP port 139. It is not able to connect to the share, although I can connect to the web server running on the same system.

Any ideas?
Mike

You are on one physical network.

The machine you want to use a share from is on a differnt physical network. So is a web server.

The web server likely has a public address, so your DNS server connection resolves that for you.

For your private LAN addresses, somewhere there has to be a physical link between the two (or more) network segments, as the external DNS servers are not going to resolve the address.

This is not a DMZ issue, or a port forwarding one for the share you are trying to reach. You need to provide both a physical and logical route between the two network LAN segments.

From their you could either use static routes on the server, or use the HOST file feature on the client. Or both.

Bcastner,
Thanks. I am trying to map it via the ip address

net use x: \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\share
