Okay, this is a complicated setup but I will do my best to describe it. We are part of a very large network with static IP's. We recently relocated our offices and were told that not enough IP's were available to go around. They gave us two IP's and I proceeded to split one of them with a router (D-Link 4 Port) and we still have the one with the other IP outside our "subnet". I need to the outside computer to be able to access either of two printers through the router. I have one of the machines setup in the router as the DMZ server so it is open and I have setup port fowarding to open up ports 137-139 and 445. When I try to connect to the printer I get "\\ComputerName is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged into." I have checked the user permissions to make sure that none of the accounts were locked out and that the guest account was enabled. I can see the computer but no printer but I cannot access the computer or printer from inside or outside of the router. Any suggestions? Thanks.
